They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings as eagles;
they shall run, and not be weary;
and they shall walk, and not faint.
Isaiah 40:31
This morning greeted me with a blessed cool breeze. Some moments it's all about discovering His hand at work in the simplest of ways. As we had our morning tea, we watched the starlings zooming and gliding so gracefully on the soft summer breeze. I found myself filled with joy as my spirit soared... darted... and became joyfully playful. I was informed that they were not really playing, that they dive to get the early morning bugs which are flying just above our heads. Now this was a moment of choice and I chose to accept my original joyful and playful flight of fantasy.
These little birds, hand crafted by our Lord might not be majestic eagles... but they have the exact same daily blessings from our Lord. They fly with out being weary. They do not faint in mid-air just because another approaches their goal. Nope... they soar, they dart, they call out warnings, and they continue towards their goal.
The blessings from my garden is always overflowing. Today it was these starlings, yesterday it was the territorial dance of the hummingbirds and their butterfly bush, the day before that it was a beautiful butterfly stopping by.... tomorrow... well I will wait with anticipation for that discovery.
If a little starling can soar with a courageous heart... how much more can we soar with our Lord's words of promise and hope?
This is the day.... to enjoy, to be free, to explore....
