I'd like to think I am more like a dog...faithful to death but I am sure I fall short and don't always "come" when I am called but that's what spiritual direction is for and that starts up for me again next week. :-)<br />xoStephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00648724530472982583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-91619058872894494.post-23918067981898186082009-08-25T19:07:04.762-07:002009-08-25T19:07:04.762-07:00Jessica, deer...of course, I forgot those. And I&#...Jessica, deer...of course, I forgot those. And I've been spending the day trying to figure out what the droppings could symbolize. Alas, I got nothin'. :D<br /><br />Kristen, thank you so much for the award! I've been enjoying YOUR blog. Just writing about the bird was fun.<br /><br />Diane, I imagine I do a little creature-morphing as well. Interesting thought.<br /><br />Anne L.B., yes, you are a bird! A meadow lark, beautiful and the reasoning that their song is what's noticed...ah--that is so you pointing to Christ--always pointing to Christ! Thanks for the compliment. It means a lot coming from you.<br /><br />Beth, thanks for your words! Love the joke--why do our minds joke so much alike?<br /><br />Danyelle, I loved your point about how birds behave the way they do not to get attention, but rather it's b/c that is who they are. After I finished the post, I tried to think about how birds often make people think about more...the sky, flight, freedom and w/ bird faith the bird is always guiding toward God.<br /><br />T.Anne, thank you. As I child I always knew I thought about the world in an unusual way. Now instead of trying to blend in, I go with it. Sometimes it's laughable and sometimes profound.<br /><br />Katie, you had me laughing at the oh crap. Sometimes I feel like God is entrusting me to learn so much all at once I feel like asking Him to slow down w/ the lessons, but I figure He knows what I need better than I do. :D<br /><br />Heather, I get that vibe in your blog, that you deeply and authentically care for others!<br /><br />Believe it or not I'm hosting the h.s. Bible Babes at my house for a sleep over so I need to sign off early. Not thinking I'll get much sleep tonight. Wonder what my babes will think when they awake to see 4 h.s. girls sleeping in our playroom? :D<br /><br />Get some sleep for me!<br />~ WendyWendy Paine Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15136235074351188350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-91619058872894494.post-91754033323399670812009-08-25T15:21:53.670-07:002009-08-25T15:21:53.670-07:00Definitely bird faith! I love this post, Wendy! Yo...Definitely bird faith! I love this post, Wendy! You've made me think and you've lifted me up. I love watching birds protect and feed their young each spring. They have love for each other and that's what I always want in my faith.Heather Sunserihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12552506888985553471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-91619058872894494.post-63950871258394192222009-08-25T15:17:59.709-07:002009-08-25T15:17:59.709-07:00I love the way your brain thinks.

I say the right things with the best intentions, but struggle with following through with actions. Something I've really been working on, now that I have a little man at home watching how I live. :)<br /><br />Anyway - just like you, I'd love to be a bird!Katie Gansherthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09150375338556869812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-91619058872894494.post-74700761882050113312009-08-25T11:29:58.416-07:002009-08-25T11:29:58.416-07:00I love you blog and today is a prime example of wh...I love you blog and today is a prime example of why.

It must be wonderful to fly and sing--all in the course of simply living. They don't do it to show off or to get attention, they do it because that's part of who they are. That's what I would like to be like. :DDanyelle L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10366276085080565870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-91619058872894494.post-67047021906902994792009-08-25T09:22:56.838-07:002009-08-25T09:22:56.838-07:00I love this post - pictures and all.

I want to have bird faith (but not bird flu!) :) We have rabbits in our backyard, and if I'm honest, I think the rabbit is the one I struggle with the most - making sure what I SAY matches up with what I DO.

Per...This is a wonderfully thought-provoking post.<br /><br />Perhaps I'm a western meadow lark. Their song is beautiful, even haunting. They're rural and never have a very big audience. They blend into the scenery, so only their song is easily noticed.Anne Lang Bundyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02998809463390846323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-91619058872894494.post-91215099867444200952009-08-25T07:12:37.140-07:002009-08-25T07:12:37.140-07:00I hope to have bird faith but probably morph into ...I hope to have bird faith but probably morph into other creatures at times.Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07604687906788800639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-91619058872894494.post-26199215117275156792009-08-25T06:56:40.991-07:002009-08-25T06:56:40.991-07:00Hey, Wendy!

They trim my grass and I know they've been here even when I don't see them because they leave their droppings and hoof prints. :-)Jessica Nelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12365768876905444157noreply@blogger.com
