I love to look out my windows and see what the nature world is doing in my yard.\u00a0 This fat bunny comes almost every day to find what he can under the bird feeder.\u00a0 Sometimes I put cut up fruit in the backyard so they can have a treat.\u00a0 However, we don’t want to let the robins have our strawberries so we have to keep them covered up.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We have a blue bird house right outside the bedroom window.\u00a0 A little sparrow has made her nest in there this year.\u00a0 Early in the morning and around sun down I can watch mama sparrow as she feeds her little ones.\u00a0 She brings them all kinds of surprises.\u00a0 If I make too much noise, the impatient birdies have to wait to eat.\u00a0 I tried to get a picture of them, but they would not\u00a0co-operate.<\/p>\n

I think it’s amazing how God can keep all things in order and care for all His creation.\u00a0 It tells us in Matthew 10:29,that His eye is on the sparrow and that not one falls from the sky that He does not see.\u00a0 If He cares that much for a silly little bird, how much He must care for the ones created in His image.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Our God sees all things, hears all things and understands all thing.\u00a0 He is never late, never gives bad advice, and never stops caring for His children.\u00a0 So why do we still not trust Him?\u00a0 This little bunny trusts God, even if he doesn’t know that he does.\u00a0 It’s built into his nature.\u00a0 The animals of the field have no one else to care for them.\u00a0 They all depend on God’s grace and provision.\u00a0 Oh, that we all could walk in such complete faith.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
