It's the simple things in life!

YEARS ago my Grandpa used to whistle bird calls/songs to the grand kids.  At the time I probably could have cared less, and honestly it probably even annoyed me at times.  But, being older and wiser, I look back and TREASURE those (and every) moment with my Grandpa.  When I was older and I actually heard a live Bobwhite in our backyard I was SO excited!  I remember running in to tell my Mom, "There really is a Bobwhite and it sounds just like Grandpa said!!!"

Now I find myself watching out the patio doors at all of the birds (and pesky squirrel) that show up at the suet feeders.  The Cardinals are back in all their glory with their renewed head crests/plumes.  A HUGE Blue Jay showed up today, too, along with all of the above birds and more that I didn't get pictures of.

Simplicity!!  A few dollars in suet cakes and what pleasure.

How good is God?

Nest

What a neat home for a bird...premade and everything!  How blessed we are to have the things that God has given us; even when it may not be all that we want, we have a place to lay our head...

Jesus replied, "Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head."  - Matthew 8:20

Bald bird

While you cannot see it very good in this picture, this is the BALD Cardinal that lives in the pines behind our house!  He appears off and on and does just fine with everything...flying, eating, chirpping, etc., but he has no head covering.  POOR thing...  :-(  God still cares for it, but how much more He cares for me!!!

Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?
- Matthew 6:26
