SING AGAIN

The unleashed songs, vibrant colors in design and outstretched wings embracing the winds are why I thoroughly enjoy birds of the air.

As I sit here, I think  although they are a wonderful creation, these beautiful birds can also make a mess, fight with each other and have to endure storms.

Yes, bird droppings on our windshield or porch make us frown.  But, before long, their song puts a smile back on our face.  They do fight, then most always fly away together. So, though these beautiful creatures fight, have messes and face storms, they survive and continue to sing letting the winds carry them to a safe landing place.

Hmmm... our reality, life's mirrored silhouette, a bird.

We, too can make a mess of our days, get frustrated with each other, and lose our way in the storms of life and yet God's winds of forgiveness, grace and faithfulness are waiting and ready to carry us to safety.

Today, whatever you may be going through, let each time you hear a bird sing remind you of God's promises.

Let go... fly...  sing again.

"But I will sing off Your strength; I will sing aloud of Your steadfast love in the morning.  For You have been a fortress and a refuge in the day of my distress.". Psalm 59:16
