Awakening that rare bird...

I awoke this morning to chirping and singing of the robins in my yard. There were thousands! They were playing in the birdbath, hunting for worms in the yard, chasing each other in the trees. How blessed are we to enjoy a peaceful morning listening to the sounds of nature.

I so appreciate the "rare bird" inspiration Deb sent yesterday:

When you wake up in the morning remember what a Rare, Priceless,
Birds you are. God would never put your on this earth to be ordinary.
Soar on a daily basis.

Those were my thoughts this morning. I sat up in bed and prayed to thank God for this glorious day, my girlfriends and my very blessed life.

Now the lawn crew is here. All the birds are gone, scared off by the big, noisy mowers. My peace has been overtaken by machines and dust! Rather than being upset, I choose to be thankful they are here to do the work I can't or won't do. I am thankful we are able to provide jobs for several men who have families to take care of and I'm glad the yard will look better for our seminar and company this weekend.

This is the day that the Lord has made. I will be glad and rejoice in it!

Love and appreciation to all of you, Rhonda
