What a beautiful day!!
My oldest son and I spent some time out in the yard....he raked, and I helped him put the leaves in bags.
Last year our yard was almost completely yellow....my sister has a special tool to pluck dandilions out....we now have one, so I pulled a few of them.
Then I planted the Tulips that I blogged earlier about. When I went to water them, there was a robin who stayed 2 feet away from me at all times. I was flattered :) It wasn't afraid of me. Some how it knew that I wasn't going to harm it...probably after putting up the bird feeders and the plants and having water out there....it probably sensed that I wasn't going to kill it after all that work. It may have also smelled the water and was sooo thirsty. Or it may have known that water softens the ground to make it more easy for the birds to find worms and other things that are in the ground. Again, I thought about the parallel in my life.
Just like the Robin, am I anxious to see what my Caregiver has for me? Am I excited about the things that God is bringing into my life so that I may be healthy? The wildlife has to endure all the weather that each day has.....and yet, it waits in excitement for the next meal....or oasis....it seems like they live in constant Praise :) A lesson for me to rememer....until next time....
