The weather has turned from brutal to nearly springlike in a couple of days. From nearly zero with sub zero wind chills to the 40's and 50's. Yesterday, the birds outside my window at work could not help singing. They sang so loudly I paused to listen.
"And to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the heavens and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so. -Genesis 1:30
The animals know when to celebrate the little things. The birds sing because they know God provides and winter is only a season. Spring is just around the corner. One more month of long cold snaps and then little by little the days will grow warmer.
The birds singing remind me not to miss this moment. The moments when our ears can hear and our eyes can see His provision and His grace are everyday holy moments.
Listen for the birds to sing. It is one of the first signs of new life and the promise of Spring. First we have to get through February.
Today, I am grateful for birds singing.
