August day..

Today is a perfect August day... white fluffy clouds and alot of noise from the tree frogs and locusts. My husband put a bird feeder in the front of the kitchen window along with a hummingbird feeder and I am amazed at how many birds come for breakfast, lunch and dinner.... and snacks in between! It is very relaxing to just listen and watch nature.

I like to think about what the Lord said about the birds..

"For this reason I say to you, do not be anxious for your life, as to what you shall eat, or what you shall drink ; nor for your body, as to what you shall put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? " Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they? " And which of you by being anxious can add a single cubit to his life span?
It is true... watch the birds and see how they approach life. They work for their living and they sing about their joy. Simple.

We make life to complicated and it starts with selfishness. I challenge each of you for one day to think about everyone else and their needs instead of your own. Try it for one day - it's all about others and when others feel this kind of love they can easily give it back.

You reap what you sow...
