Bird Watching 101

Anyone who is close to me knows I have a thing about birds, especially the common unpopular ones. They connect me to God in a special way. When filling their feeder today, the beauty of the weather and sounds of their singing overwhelmed and suspended me for a moment and out of nowhere the first line of Psalm 24 came wafting through my thoughts.

The Earth is the Lord's and everything in it, the world and all who live in it.


What an unexpected moment. How comforting those words are. Everything belongs.
