| This isn't the wood pecker I saw, but it is similar. |
Just outside my 2nd floor window is a balcony and
three feet from the balcony grow two large, beautiful quaking aspen trees.
Yesterday while watching the wind gently rustle the aspen leaves two wood
peckers landed in the tree and began pecking at the trunk. I’ve never seen a
wood pecker that close before and was startle by the how brilliant the blue
feathers sparkled in the sun. There is an awe and reverence that comes when I
see nature up close and for some reason the magnificence of that sight filled
me with more awe than usual as I watched the two beautiful birds.
After a few minutes the birds flew away, but the sight and
feeling has not left me. God has given us such an amazing world and I am
grateful for it. I’m also grateful for the power He has given me to remember
the beautiful moments so that when times aren’t as wonderful as they were
yesterday I can recall the beauty and bring it into the present. What a blessing!
A beautiful world and the gift of memory to recall the beauty when the storms
come. God thought of everything, didn’t He!
I hope you are all having a wonderful day, and if you aren’t
I hope you remember!
