The Birds Singing
I heard birds singing early this morning. What a delight! There is something about the sound of tweets and chirps that brings about a feeling of comfort and peace in me. Spring has sprung and birds are out and about their business. The world is still turning and God is still in control. I hear one now determinedly sharing a bit of news or trying to get the attention of a friend. A bird is a message of hope. In Matthew, birds are mentioned in a passage of Scripture reminding us not to worry. God takes care of them, provides food for them. Certainly, we don't need to fret about clothing and food and toilet paper and spending the next 2 weeks in place. Life feels a bit (okay...maybe more than a bit) overwhelming right now for some of us. We find ourselves in a place we've never (most likely) been before. The "unknown" is always a little scary and fretful, yet our Father is where He has always been, doing what He has always done, being who He has always been.
