Nuthatches...Bush Bunnies and Other Assorted Creatures

Dawn approaches but has not yet cracked the horizon.
All indicators are there...the reality moments away.
A nuthatch graces the perch of our bird feeder,
while a bush bunny nibbles at some branches under our trees.

My heart sings.

It's a new day.

This is my Father's world.

It proclaims loudly that he is good.

The trees from their lofty height sway to the music hidden in the wind.
The sky...an ever changing tapestry to his artistry.
His creatures...a tribute to his care and provision.

My thoughts today...gathered in from my current cares, are centered on this:

I am his daughter... he is a GOOD Father.

He delights in me.

A lone chickadee inspects the landscape from his seat in the oak tree.
Searching for competitors for those last bits of seeds remaining.
His flight is like a dance filled with dips and swoops.
"Look", my father says as he smiles, " They know where their source is."

Today I choose again.
To feast at His table.

"No good thing does he withhold...
O Lord Almighty, blessed is the man who trusts in you."( Ps. 84:11-12)

The sun has crested the horizon and a million frost crystals glimmer like jewels in it's light.

Ahhhhhh...

I so want to be a reflection of his light.
To absorb his beauty, and give it back to the world.

This is my prayer... to know you Lord...to love you...
to love those you love!

Look around today...
no...
Don't just look...

SEE.

The Lord... He IS good....

His mercy endures forever, his faithfulness reaches to the skies.

His care is extended to the least of all his creatures..
nuthatches, bush bunnies, chickadees...

... and ME.

How much more so are his eyes on those whom he has suffered and died for.
To those who he fashioned in his own image..
for the purpose of...

communion

love
