After seeing so many different birds at our feeders this past winter, I was really disappointed when they disappeared this spring and were replaced by grackles...and of course our very greedy squirrels. But I have discovered that spring brings a different set of birds, I just have to look closer.
As I sit typing this blog, there is a female flicker pecking away at the tree outside my window; I almost missed it because it blends in with the tree trunk so well. We've also been watching a pair of Baltimore Orioles come to our hummingbird feeder on the deck. They are very timid, so the only way to see it is to sit quietly or they won't come close.
That's the way it is in my own life, too. I get so caught up in what I had or what I think is missing that if I'm not careful, I completely miss the new blessings that God has given me. Sometimes I need to just sit quietly and focus on what is here in front of me right now. There is ALWAYS a blessing in your life...you just have to discover it.
