Birds sing

December 8, 2023 Friday

Birds sing. They cannot help themselves; it is part of their DNA. When you hear the smallest of birds singing in the morning hours, you hear it speaking of the glory of God. Follow the sound of its music with your eyes, and you will see the little warbler perched on the highest branch of a nearby tree singing his heart out! That little bird is not afraid, so vulnerable and yet not afraid. It sings as if there will not be a tomorrow. God, somewhere out there, and you at the bottom of the tree can both hear the little bird.

The crazy thing here, is why does a tiny bird wake up in the morning singing his praises to God, and people with the power or speech do not? If I got a megaphone out and went to a place in the middle of town speaking of my gratitude and my love of God and the love of the life I have, people would put their hands over their ears, shake their heads and move to the other side of the street. If I spoke out loud about rainbows and farms. If I spoke about clouds and the love that lives in my heart for people in my life, people would be getting as far away from me as possible.

Love takes away the fear. Love makes it safe and wonderful, why isn’t it spoken? What is the problem? What is the disconnect? Love is an emotionally charged word. Love is what it is all about, and yet we are silenced as we walk down the street. The little bird knows about love. and it sings. The newborn baby knows it, and he cries. The poorest, most vulnerable and the sickest among us know it, and they suffer for it. Love is everything! Love is the greatest appreciation, and the greatest gratitude you could ever have. Love is the WOW of everything! Love is my constant companion. I am so blessed to be living in God’s world, where miracles are the rule… not the exception. Is it possible that happiness and love are connected? I believe it with all my heart. What do you believe? What makes you happy? Wow! Think about that, what makes you happy?

Have a most marvelous day! Get outside if possible, and listen to the little bird as he sings his heart out.

Love from me to all of you!
