Consider the lilies of the field… Matt 6:28
“… if you will seek the LORD your God, you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul. Deuteronomy 4:29
When I look at those baby birds with their mouths wide open just begging for food. I thought….. wonder if I beg/hunger for food from God’s Word(the real food) like those baby birds do? Tamm Holton
“Come to me, all you who are struggling hard and carrying heavy loads, and I will give you rest.”
“Put on my yoke, and learn from me. I’m gentle and humble. And you will find rest for yourselves. My yoke is easy to bear, and my burden is light. ”
Matthew 11:28-30 CEB

Thanks for bird watching with me. Tammy Holton
I read, “The red belly robin is another important bird in Christianity. Legend has it that the robin got its red belly from a fire in which it was trying to protect Jesus. The robin represents selflessness for a higher truth (or love).”
Genesis 1:20 And God said, “Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the vault of the sky.”
April 17, 2021 I shared here a Robin’s nest with eggs right outside my window. My heart beamed with love. I nurtured the nest with quiet and unfettered care hoping to do my part to see the unveiling of baby Robbins and the virgin flight as they fly across the vault of the sky.
A mystery, yes a mystery and a delight for my eyes and hopefully a passion for higher truth and love. 💟 Tammy Holton
Good morning, look at what is sitting right outside the window at my house. “I have a bird’s eye view “ I hope to be able to have that “view” as the eggs hatch and fly away. I hope to capture a picture of the mom sitting on them.🥰 I think the nest these birds make are amazing.@tholton
Fresh flowers in my kitchen window always causes me to sing a new song! 🎼 How do you like my new translucent bud vase? Chris, my son, made it for me with his 3D printer. I used water pics to keep the flowers fresh! 💗
What song comes to your mind when you see fresh flowers after a long cold winter? What potential do you see in another when reality says slim!
I like this song…..
“In the bulb there is a flower; in the seed, an apple tree,
In cocoons, a hidden promise: butterflies will soon be free!
In the cold and snow of winter there’s a spring that wants to be,
Unrevealed until its season, something God alone can see.
There’s a song in every silence, seeking word and melody;
There’s a dawn in every darkness, bringing hope to you and me.
From the past will come the future; what it holds, a mystery,
Unrevealed until its season, something God alone can see.
In our end is our beginning; in our time, infinity;
In our doubt there is believing; in our life, eternity,
In our death, a resurrection; at the last, a victory,
Unrevealed until its season, something God alone can see.”

I found beautiful Stella, a cardinal, sitting motionless and stayed as still as a rock sitting in my side garden. I spoke to her with no response. I named her, Stella. I inquired of her for what she might need. She moved her eyes and allowed me to come near.
I waited by her side as I knew there were larger birds that could possibly harm her. I thought I don’t know enough about birds to distinguish male from female. So, I went on calling her Stella.
After a time I heard friendly chirps all around us and I looked and other cardinals were calling her name. She regained her strength and took flight with those of her kind.
“Now this is what the LORD says— “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; you are Mine! 2) When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you go through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched; the flames will not set you ablaze.…” (Isaiah 43:1)
The Redeemed of the Lord God will be called by name and take a safe flight when the time is right. Do Not fear! Stella did not fear but waited to hear! What a lesson Stella taught me on my early morning walk.
This beautiful poem was written by a woman born in 1871. It is still true today. In NYT this morning, February 26, 2021
Matthew 6;25 “Therefore 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 than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 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? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life[a]?
Let there be Light! Genesis 1:3
“Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.” Matthew (6:9-13) and Luke (11:2-4)
Heavenly Father, heal us, I pray….
