In Which My Hummingbirds Teach Me a Lesson

Matthew 6:26

²⁶ Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?


The hummingbirds have discovered my feeder and the past couple of days every time I hear one come up and "chirp, chirp" I stop what I'm doing and go to the window to watch them flitter around.  I'm going to miss having that feeder right outside the door so I can hear and see them flying around all day.

So as I sit here and worry myself absolutely sick over something I have no control over I realize I'm being a bit ridiculous... I'm sitting here watching these tiny tiny extraordinary birds completely demonstrate the verse above and I'm sitting here worrying about what's going to happen next month...or the next month...or next summer.

God will provide...he's done a great job taking care of us up till this point...we'll be fine.  It's just getting myself to believe that and quit worrying long enough to calm down...until that point I'm quite livid about the current situation...

Here's to taking a breath, relocating my faith, and calming down.
