Tweet Tweet and Frozen Ground

Yesterday morning as I pulled out of my slippery driveway and I glanced over to see tiny little birds hopping along the frozen grass  over on McKinney street and seemingly getting some breakfast, I made a mental note that I should pick up some simple bird seed as our winter seemed to come so hard and fast this year.  I kind of wondered if they really needed it, as God is so good to provide for the needs of the simplest creatures and then thought again, I should still do my part!

Yes, I often have such conversations and discussions with myself.  Not bragging and hopefully you won’t recommend me for the looney farm, just how I guess I process my thoughts and ideas that I believe God puts in my mind, thus the need for a “discussion”!

Before the delicate birds were even ushered out of my mind, beautiful brown eyes flooded my soul.  I should really pick up some extra seed…really?  And for these precious kiddos?  Yes, I am working hard to do my part.  No guilt, no pressure, no pain….just how much more God loves the little children and does he desire that not even one would be brought pain or go hungry.

I’m pretty sure that seeing the birds made me think of seed, otherwise it would have not been on my radar…pretty sure that visiting Arjo opened my eyes orginally to a completely off my radar need.  And I also feel certain that there are seasons.  Times when the birds can flourish in excess of slippery plump worms and tiny fresh bugs.  Times when our lives have plenty and hours, days or months when life feels frozen financially, spiritually or physically.

So what’s the point?  Maybe the discussion isn’t really finished.  Open our hearts and our eyes to watch for what God wants to show us.  Know with confidence that seasons come and go just like the frozen times of our lives.  Share with those who are in a season who could benefit from sharing our excess.  Spread seed, love often, listen for His voice or heart prompting.  Let the conversation continue.
