July 15, 2019 ● 13 minShare this episode
Most mornings our backyard is a cacophony of birdsong. We have an unrelenting mockingbird who sings at the top of his lungs, sometimes beginning well before dawn.
Combined with some bouncing sparrows, a pair of cooing doves, hummingbirds buzzing around and a random flock of crows, it can be quite entertaining.
Sometimes, I am inspired to sit out back and watch the birds hop through our grass, looking for a spare crumb or sipping a few drops of leftover water from our sprinkler heads.
And almost every time, these words of Jesus pop into my head, “Look at the birds…”
The question then becomes–Am I paying attention? Am I present? Am I listening? Are my eyes open to the wonders around me?
Paying attention to this living wisdom can lead to maturity because God has created this world in such a way that life lessons are all around. Let’s turn our gaze inward for a few moments.
