Yesterday, I posted about my inspiration: “Project Easter Joy.” I also posted this photo on Instagram which my husband snapped late Easter afternoon.
Well, the following day a huge tree crashed down in a storm…
…right behind this Forsythia bush. This morning, I went out to access the damage.
Thankfully, it fell far away from our house. The winds were howling up a storm yesterday, so I lit a blessed candle and said an earnest prayer. There are a few ominous dead trees close to my house. I prayed that all would be well. The winds died down immediately. I give glory to God!
As I was taking a look around this morning, a cute little bird came and perched right near me. God knows that I love birds. I think their visits are His gifts!
Pay attention to the gifts around you–large and small–God gives us reason to smile even through tough times like a pandemic, for instance!
God bless you!
What an amazing commentary on finding joy in the little and big things. By the way, that’s a beautiful photo of the bird. Although God knows you love birds and sends them to greet you, you wouldn’t notice them if you didn’t see with the eyes of faith.
Hello! You are very kind. Thank you. I agree that we need to see everything with the eyes of Faith. I hope and pray that you too are seeing and discovering God’s many GIFTS! God bless you!
You truly are an inspiration to all !!
