She's gone wacky, for sure--birds don't WALK, they fly! Well, true--and it WOULD have been a funny sight if a whole entourage of birds had joined me walking the neighborhood this morning...I mean walking behind me, before me, beside me--what a sight for sore eyes--would have made someone's day, believe me!

Let me explain--I'm into this "lose weight, look good, lighten up" mode, and know my body, my doctor, and myself would be happy with me if I walked--not my favorite thing to do--and certainly not early in the morning. BUT I did--and would you believe, when you walk in the MORNING, you can hear the BIRDS sing...fly-by singing or fancy sitting-in-a-tree singing--whatever, they SING!

Bird were MADE to sing...they were made to fly too! And so were we! We drag ourselves along in our dreary, down-in-the-dumps walkways of life, moaning and groaning at what we SHOULD have, how it SHOULD be, what we DON'T have and how it DOESN'T work...and we lose our song! Heaven forbid...quiet your troubled soul and weary spirit long enough and listen...the birds are SINGING...the birds are FLYING...and so can we!

You see, birds don't worry about finances, fashion, family or "am-I-having-fun" yet! They don't feel guilty about their past, face inadequate about their present, or fret about their future. They solely trust their Creator; they sing His praises; they soar in His wind--and HE takes full care of their needs! That same God will take care of us too--now, believe it!!

Soar with the wings of an eagle today--and remember, "They that wait upon the Lord SHALL renew their strength; they SHALL mount up with wings like eagles; they SHALL run, and not be weary; and they SHALL walk, and not faint ( Bible Gateway.com - passage=Isaiah+40:31">Isaiah 40:31)." Now believe that...enjoy your walk with the birds in the morning...but sing and soar with Him all day!!

Delight in a Word from the Well--a refreshing in the Water of His Word

"Therefore, I say unto you, Be no anxious for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than food and the body than raiment? Behold the fowls of the air; for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns, yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? ( Bible Gateway.com - passage=Matthew+5:25-26">Matthew 5:25-26)."

Draw from the Well--a song and a prayer for renewing strength for this day

You're My Strength and My Song...and...Those Who Hope in the Lord from Songs of Praise

"Unhappiness, is always caused by self-sufficiency which arrogantly demands
our making it on our own strength and not His." (Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie)

Thanks to my friend Annie of Annie's Home Page for sharing this good quote!

"Lord, sometimes the cares of this world muffle my song--and I forget to fly. Help me to walk so closely to You that I will hear the song You have placed in my heart--that nothing will drown it out. Then give me courage to face the wind, to fly into it, and soar above it, in YOU and in Your strength and song, In Your Name, Amen."

Please note that while I strongly adhere to major tenets of the evangelical Christian faith, I may not personally agree with every specific doctrinal belief set forth in other Christian pages, nor would all necessarily agree with me. I do want to provide a diversity of links and resource material for the entire Body of Christ to enjoy, and trust you will view it as such.

A safety tip: Internet links and material may include other links and/or material which do not reflect my Christian views or yours. Please choose wisely and use with discretion! And if you find an ugly spider hiding in a dark corner, you may smash it with a broom from my BROOM CLOSET--I hate offensive stuff too!
