Amazing creation!

"Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? "Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Matthew 6:25-26

Ricardo and Jay built a birdhouse last year. We never noticed any birds in it until this Spring. Ricardo noticed that there were eggs in there. Then there were little chirps. He turned the birdhouse around so we could see it from inside the house so as not to disturb the birds. Well, one day the kids were telling me that they saw two birds around the house and feeding the babies. I was like, "Ok, that's neat, whatever..." Then one day I actually saw the bird (that Ricardo said was the mom) and she was feeding the little babies. I don't exactly know why but I became amazed with these birds! I couldn't stop watching them. I just felt so in awe of how the birds know how to get food and come to feed their babies. This may seem like a DUH moment to anyone else but to me, it was absolutely amazing. I wake up and hear the birds so I look out the window to see what is happening in their world. I look out the window and just watch them. Even when I need to be getting ready for work, or doing chores, I can't help but just to stand there and watch these birds. Then I felt the above Scripture in my heart. I just knew that God was showing me this exact thing! He knows that I like to see things for myself so He let me in on His wonderful creation. :) We all love it how God loves us that He takes care of the littlest creatures so how much more does He love and take care of us! There are alot of changes going on in our house right now. I am done with my classes this semester. I am quitting my job and taking Ellie out of daycare, Jay just finished 5th grade, Ricardo is getting promoted therefore we are looking at PCSing in the near future...... There are alot of things for me to worry about. But seeing these birds, I feel so at peace that we are taken care of by the Almighty God! If this seems really corny, sorry! But I think it's cool!! ;)


The mommy is feeding the babies while the dad is on lookout.

Here is the dad sitting on the fence. He kept chirping in a certain pattern and we were thinking that maybe he was calling to the mom. It was so neat.


Here are the babies waiting for the food.

Sometimes when our shadow came over the box, they would start chirping and opening their mouths to receive food.
