Birds of the Air


"I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?" (Matthew 6:25-26 NIV)

Over the last few days, Mom, Dad, A and I have been enjoying a new family to the neighborhood. Every time we eat supper, we look out our window and see our new neighbors. Mommy and Daddy Bird have placed their nest low in a tree outside the glass door near our dining table. Their family eats the same time we do. Mommy and Daddy Bird "work" the backyard for an hour or two. They come in rounds to feed these growing babies. Then when stomachs are full, we put our dishes in the dishwasher, and next door, Mommy Bird sits on the babies. Tonight, Mom went out and took the picture above. Three babies! In our snoopy neighbor behavior, we had not realized the neighbors had three babies. Well, Daddy Bird did not like Mom taking the picture, and he came flying back--yelling the whole way. He landed in top of the tree and jumped from branch to branch, getting closer and closer to the intruder. Mom took the picture quick and ran back inside. We learned two leasons:
1) If God takes care of birds, God will take care of us.
2) Don't bother your neighbors during supper time.
