Friday it was really cold and misty and I didn’t notice any birds during the day. Then at dusk a mockingbird flew up to this tree branch and stayed there for about ten minutes. I kept expecting it to eat the dark berries and leave but it just sat there; not singing or chirping – silently perched. I am reminded that my trust and confidence in God are often strongest when in a silent position as I pray in my heart for His guidance. I can just stop, wait and be silent; while meditating on His word and knowing He hears me. How grateful I am for that.
Well, the mockingbird finally ate a berry or two and then moved on. It is these special moments that I sometimes catch, giving me a chance to consider how God’s nature are sweet mini-lessons for me. I need to just pause life and look for them. May God bestow blessings on you this week!

We have started to see the deer bucks show up in the back of our property. They are so much bigger than the females so it was quite wondrous to see this beautiful animal coming through the wild grasses and trees, so fearlessly.
It makes me think of all the wondrous things God has done in my lifetime. There have been good times and hard times but ALL times He has seen me through it. I hope and pray that I can be as fearless as the prophets and apostles in proclaiming the Lord and the saving faith that He so lovingly gives to all who come to Him, which is a wonderful thing to possess. May His blessings be on you this week. Months ago this electric pole was occupied by the woodpecker that made the heart shaped hole at the top. I was thrilled to capture this photograph of a beautiful red-shouldered hawk as it landed there and stayed for about 10 minutes. We think it is reclaiming this area of the neighborhood for winter and watching over its territory.
This Scripture speaks to how we handle our own hearts. The heart shaped hole in this image makes me contemplate how I need to watch over my own heart and fill it with God’s word. I do not want an empty space because I neglected to watch over what goes inside. Thankfully the Lord gave us instructions on how to fill our hearts up with Him. I pray God’s blessings to you this week! |
