Praise the Lord for His wonderful grace!
I was reminded again today of the Father's handiwork in even the tiniest
creatures as I sat at the kitchen table and looked out the window at the
hummingbird feeders on the deck. Rick's "little friends" as they are
affectionately known at our house have different personalities, sizes and
colors. Their menu is very simple - uncolored sugar water. I've tried to
incorporate two new, decorative feeders, but they will have nothing to do with
them. They are very possessive of their territory and chatter like crazy
when it is invaded! As it drizzled rain this am, one little bird sat on top of
the feeder hook, fluffed out its feathers and was either trying to stay warm or
have a lazy shower.
I'm so glad God made us all different. People come in all
shapes, sizes and colors. Thankfully our personalities are unique & hopefully
modeled after Christ?. Our menu is the Word of God. The gospel message we share
is still very simple but it's all someone needs to go to Heaven. Just like the
hummingbirds, I'm very territorial! (Aren't we all?) As a human, I like to do
things MY way .. all the time knowing that God's plan is better! Thank you Jesus
for answering prayer, forgiving and gently guiding and directing my path. I'm
still trying to listen and learn - not chatter all the time! God's
goodness is limitless; His mercy is everlasting; His love never changes; His
Word is enough! Do you know Him?
Keep looking UP!
