Yesterday I found the nest.
It was hidden in a cedar. Protected.  Invisible.
I noted one blue egg, and not wanting to alarm the mother, who hovered nearby, I left it at that.

Today, there is one blue egg, and two baby birds.
What I had missed!

But these baby birds are seen by a loving father who cares, even when I don't see.
So too, will He care for my own young, when I am not there.
He sees the sparrow fall, how much more He cares for me... and mine.

Matthew 10:29

Letting go is hard to do.
The waiting.
The imagining.
The not trusting.

Then, the message, "Relax Mom."

Indeed.

Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord.
Romans 12:10&11

Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is - his good, pleasing and perfect will.
Romans 12: 1&2

Love

If I speak in the tongues of mean and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fatham all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always persevers.
Love never fails.
Eph. 13

Spirit

This is my prayer today

"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control... Let us keep in step with the spirit"
Galations 5:22 & 25

strength, dignity, without fear

Clothed in strength and dignity
Strength...
Dignity...

No fear of the future

I must learn this
