A Lesson From Birds

We can learn from birds.

These small creatures were created with feathers that repel water, and even keep them warm. (I thought about this "warmth", when I bought a jacket with feathers in it, to make it a warm jacket)
Also, birds were created with tiny legs & claws that seem too small to hold the weight of their body, when holding on to tree branches and other things.  (I consider it a miracle that they don't get blown off a tiny tree branch, when the wind is blowing strong).

We human beings, when going through the storms of life, more often than not, throw a fit, need therapy, take a life, God forbid, etc.  We just don't handle stress, and other challenges of life very well.  Some people worry about money and where their next meal will come from.

Birds...They wake up singing.  They sing in the morning, they sing through storms, they sing in the evening.  They don't worry about where their next meal comes from, cause they know their Creator will provide.  They don't worry about the weather, cause they know they will be protected.  Their tiny "feet" hold on tight to whatever they are perched on, as they are blown around in the wind, and rained on, and cold weather/snow doesn't keep them from enjoying life, cause they are provided for by their Creator.

If we start waking up with a song on our heart each morning, and throughout the day, instead of thinking/focusing on all the seemingly negative things in life, being grateful for everything, instead of complaining, it's a guarantee that our lives will change.  Have you ever heard, "What you put out into the world, comes back to you"?  Well, I can attest that it's true!  Have you ever noticed someone you know, whom you consider a "good" person, and yet they seem to go through "bad" situations all the time?  One reason may be that, though they are "good", they may complain about things.  Let's try being grateful for everything, seemingly good & bad, holding on tight during life challenges, trusting in the Creator to get us through, as we learn the lessons we're supposed to; cause life is a classroom.

Conclusion:  This world needs a LOT more positive energy; it has way too much negative energy.  Let's begin making a difference, and not getting caught up in everyone else's negative, but influencing others to be positive.  
There is so much to learn from nature (not just birds) on how to live, if we'd just pay attention.
