My sad, sad experience with the little birds I grew so attached to make me look forward all the more to this:
Isaiah 11:6-9
6 The awolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.
7 And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
8 And the sucking child shall play on the hole of athe asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the bcockatrice’ den.
9 They shall not ahurt nor bdestroy in all my holy cmountain: for the dearth shall be full of the eknowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.
I wish it were like that now! Faith, faith…
Sometimes nature is so painful. It does make me glad I can care for my babies inside a house with walls and a roof and not in a precarious nest with predators all around.
Thanks for sharing your faith, sorry about the birds. And good luck with all of your packing, moving, etc.
