Life Is Short & Fast



















You know, if you've followed my blogs at all, that I love to take pictures of birds.  We recently hung this simple hummingbird feeder in our back yard and I love to watch these special creatures of God's imagination as they come to feed.  When I'm out there they sometimes come and hover right around me.  They are so fast and busy and so fascinating to watch.  

Lately I've felt a bit like them as I've been trying to keep up with a rash of funerals, appointments, meetings, family needs, personal time, and writing the book as well as sermons and weekly letters to the church.  I'm not complaining at all, I'm just flapping my wings as fast as I can!  

If God is watching over these wonderful little birds, I know He is also watching over me as I flit from event to event just trying to do what He has designed me to do.  Stop and enjoy today and thank the Good Lord for providing for your nourishment physically and spiritually.  The Word of God and the Sabbath are "feeders" that He has provided for us as places of rest and refueling.
