Birds

I remember a nature documentary from when I was a child.

The entire show was about one nest from creation to abandonment.

What is vivid in my mind's eye, all these decades later, was the mother chasing its fully mature chick out of the nest to force it to fly. The chick did NOT want to leave. The mother pecked it and treated it cruelly, seemingly.

Thing was, to allow the chick to miss spreading its wings and flying on its own had to happen at just the right time. If the chick was allowed to keep its warm, filling comfortable nest, it could not learn to fly later. This meant that the chick would one day plummet to the ground unable to function as a bird.

Even the mother's life depended on this timing. The mother had given all she could and needed R&R. The mother had to move on from its responsibility to live a 'normal' life again.

God supplies. God renews. God rebuilds. God restores. His plan is always the way of love, life and beauty.

Onward and Upward!

Love someone well today!
