Song

My new favorite bird is the Robin. Robins are the harbingers of Spring, and the first birds to raise young.

And theirs are the songs that awaken the dawn.

Many mornings I have watched as the dark slowly gives way to light. There is a hush, a silence, and then a song.

I have always found hope and joy in that song. And now I know who sings it.

Thank you, Father, for the Robin. And for the Robin's faithful song.

"Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, "The LORD is my portion; therefore I will wait for him." Lamentations 3:22-24 (NIV)
