Psalm 104:12 The birds of the sky nest by the waters; they
sing among the branches.
I envy guys who can just throw on some sweats and shoes and
go out walking or running. I won’t leave
the house without doing hair and makeup.
This morning I secured my Virgin Health Miles pedometer, took my iPhone
for the I Map My Walk app and for Pandora, grabbed the ear buds and my house
key, set the alarm and then I was ready to walk after stretching. As I was trying to decide what music I was in
the mood to listen to this morning I heard a bird singing and then another and
another. It was a beautiful chorus. I
imagined them singing in praise of the mild temperatures and the sun shining
after a couple of cold, dreary days. I
thought that nature’s music is so much more beautiful than anything I could
hear on the radio or from my playlists. I appreciate musical talent and the
enjoyment of listening can be a blessing, yet I hope that we all will take time
to appreciate the music that God gives us through His creation, from the birds
and squirrels chirping, to the sound of the breeze or a waterfall, or rain
falling on metal. That can also sooth
our souls and bring us close to our Creator.
Holy Lord, thank you for the birds of the air and the songs
which cheer us. Thank you for the
ability to walk in your world and experience the beauty of nature with all our
senses. We praise you in Jesus’ name.
Amen.
Have a Blessed Day,
Paige
