Eat and Sleep

Eat and Sleep

Sounds kind of like a newborn babe doesn’t it?

Last year a mother bird decided to build a nest at eye level in the shrubs next to our steps.  It was so interesting to watch the change in the nest from eggs to baby birds and then empty again.

I noticed that those birds seemingly did only 2 things: eat and sleep…Sometimes I would walk by and there would just be a mound of new feathers but then….a small shake and those neck would immediately stretch up, mouths wide open…expecting the next feeding.

Eat and Sleep…. Sounds so simple, so uninvolved, so uncomplicated

You know I think that is what the Lord would have for His children. 
Rest…until the next “feeding”.  
Be anxious for NOTHING.  
NOTHING is too difficult for God.  
In ALL things be grateful…. I have come to give you rest.

Do you believe it?  Does He care so much about you and your situation that you actually have NOTHING  to worry about? 

Rest dear Saint….if He cares for the birds of the air as He says…You have NOTHING to fret about. 

Eat and sleep 

Blessings!

  1. Hi Marnie,

    Funny, I can relate to today's musing. This is the second year that birds have built a nest in my front door arrangement laying eggs that have hatched with little fur balls being nurtured and cared for by their parents. Apparently they feel safe protected by my door recessed inside my porch. Like last year, it brings joy to see these little ones develop to the time when they will leave the nest. One day they are there and the next they are gone. It certainly reminds me all that God is. I thank you for the musings you send each day.

    Blessings,
