Tiny Bird

I love a good storm!  And we had a good one last night.  I sat on the front porch with my husband and watched the trees bend with the wind and the leaves dance through the air.  And then, almost right in front of me, a little bird flapping his wings for all he was worth, but not getting anywhere against the wind.  After a few short seconds of watching him a gust of wind lifted him up, and over the house he disappeared.

I marveled at his courage and determination, this tiny creature fighting against the elements.  Do you sometimes feel like that little bird?  I know I do.  Are we not told in the scriptures that the Lord watches over even the tiny sparrow?  Is he not watching over us too?  We must have courage and determination to keep flapping our wings, and faith that the Lord will watch over us and lift us up and over whatever obstacle is in our way.

I wish you well with your flying!  And may the Lord lift you up.
