This is my younger sister Lida. Me and our older sister visited her when she was in the hospital.
Here she is now, enjoying every moment of her life whenever she can.
Anyway, when we were there, I took lots of pictures especially of the birds coz it was fun to watch them
living their own lives in the middle of the city of Stavanger.
alone
Are we not friends?
Just enjoying the day
Oh! It is cold out there
Maybe, I will give it a try t swim today
Hey! Are you cold?
Can you find a partner for me too?
I believe we stay on the ground
Having a picnic?
Did you notice the reflection in the water?
Birds that flock together stay together
Are you a bird watcher? Do you gaze at them with amazement?
So is God. But He is more than a mere observer who marvels at what He had made. Rather He knows the feeds, and constantly watches over all His creatures.
Jesus said: Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not valuable tham they? Matthew 6:26
Dear God, thank you that you care for every creature that You made. Let us then appreciate everything that you created. Let us also appreciate ourselves as You do. Help us to remember how precious we are in your sight in the midst of the battles in life. I pray in Jesus name.
Joy, I really enjoyed this. Our pond here was frozen last week and the geese were resting on the ice. I wanted to put little socks and shoes on their cold feet (ha ha)
ReplyDeleteJoy, your photos are lovely. I have always been a bird watcher and thoroughly enjoy their company. Thank you so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteMost of the birds flyaway by time I get my camera
ReplyDeleteBeautiful birds, I liked the captions too )
ReplyDeleteI am fond of birds also and love watching them glide up in the air especially the Eagles who is a comparison to our God .They are a marvelous work of our great
ReplyDeleteGod. Congrats to your sister also.
We don't have such beautiful birds where I live, but we do have sparrows. I look out my kitchen window and can see them pecking where our garden was this past summer. They have favorite spots on our house, the porch eves, a place near the drain pipe to build their nests. It is fun to watch God's creations enjoy life. Thank you Joy, for sharing with us at Tell me a True Story."
ReplyDeleteI also am a bird watcher and listener, remembering frequently these beautiful words of Jesus. I find it very relaxing to stop and deliberately listen for the birds, enjoying the goodness which is around us all the time.
ReplyDeleteI am indeed a lover of birds and watching them. I have many feeders in my garden....Diane
ReplyDeletelove the beauty of your pictures Joy. And me...yep - love watch birds.
ReplyDeleteHello Joy,
ReplyDeleteLovely photos and very interesting write ups.
The quote from the Bible is fabulous.

Hi Joy! Is your sister ill? I hope not.
ReplyDeleteWe do have bird feeders now at my house. I have come to bird-watching late! I love seeing them all feeding, and love to see different types and sizes. God is so creative! He pours himself into something as small as a bird. Imagine what he does for us!
I hope I can always be in awe of his creations. Lovely pictures you took!
