On the Half Shell – Living in the Raw

JANUARY 29, 2023

Bird watching is one of my favorite things to do. I guess i get that from Mama. I can’t really “bird watch”. I can’t really see them, but i know they are there. I can see movement in my feeders and their movements as they fly to and from the magnolia tree to the little courtyard off the patio where our feeders hang. They are very busy this morning. The weather is supposed to be nasty for a few days – heavy rain.

But there they are. PREPARING. Preparing for the weather, filling up on the seeds and grains that GOD has provided them through nature and through humans like me. I am always preparing as well. Preparing meals. Preparing for company. Preparing for next week’s Bible study. Always planning. Always preparing. I think perhaps that my focus should be more on preparing for what it important. Preparing my hear and mind for the hearing of Jesus. For the recognition of every blessing when it comes. PROPER PREPARATION. Like that of John the Baptist who prepared the way for our LORD and SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST. Let my hear ad mind be a flurry of activity preparing for Jesus in my everyday life, just like my precious little birds.
