Baby birds!

As if the excitement of two new kittens wasn't enough, we now have several baby birds in a nest on our front porch! Since we moved in, four and a half years ago, birds have been trying to nest near our house. First we found a nest in a wreath i had on the front door. A storm came and knocked the nest onto the floor and the eggs cracked :( This time they nested in the corner of the ceiling of our porch roof. One day I climbed up a saw some eggs and then another day I heard little chirps. I climbed up and saw several little hairless baby birds. The kids have really enjoyed watching this "everyday miracle". I am reminded of the scripture telling us not to worry about the provision of our needs as the Lord is even caring for the birds and fish. How much more would He look out for his sons and daughters? I am thankful for God placing this right under our noses. Take time to enjoy the everyday miracles around you. I need to do it more often, it's amazing.
