~ I Want to Be A Follow Bird ~

I love to bask in the beauty and creativity of His Creation. And, one of my "Peace Finding Activities" is to sit on my front porch and listen to the birds as I watch them fly about.

Something I have noticed ~ they can fly together in pairs in amazingly perfect unison. When the Lead Bird goes up - the Follow Bird goes up.... Lead flys left - Follow flys left. It is as if they have studied and flown this pattern their whole lives.

And, the paths they take are never the shortest distance between two points. As they fly from tree to roof top, it is left, right, up, down, left again, up and back down in a seemingly scattered and unintentional flight. Yet - the Follow Bird stays right with the Lead Bird -

Trusting
Following
Depending
Flying


No matter how unplanned and scattered the path seems, the Follow Bird is right on the Lead Bird's tail.

I want to be a Follow Bird ~ flying right behind my Savior Lead Bird.

The path He leads me on never seems to make much sense while I am flying it ~ Yet, when I reach the roof top for a moments rest, I can see how the course had to be flown in just that way to reach my destination in the condition He desired me to be in.

Take a moment to watch His birds in the sky ~ They are such a beautiful example of how we must lead our lives.....

Trusting His Hand
Following His Path
Depending on His Wisdom
Flying With Him to Eternity
