My  2 1/2 year old grandson, who can be a bit timid, and I happened to be looking at our birdhouse just as the mama bird flew out.  Immediately a baby bird tried to follow, but it didn't quite know what to do. It searched for a foot-hold on the side of the house, ducking back inside occasionally and then re-emerging. Mason said, "He's scared!" I agreed, and then we both watched as the little bird continued, struggling to find a foothold, until it finally made its way to the top of the bird house, then to the fence, then a tree branch, and finally made a victorious, if somewhat shaky, flight to the ground. Mason and I both cheered.

I hope I never forget that moment.

God Moment – Praying Mark 12:30-31 this week I was struck that I need to stop thinking in terms of us and them. There is no them; all people are us; all people are the same in God’s eyes.  There are some of us I don’t understand, there are some of us I disagree with; but none of that makes them, “them”. It is my job to love my neighbor as myself, all of my neighbors. God’s commandment to me is to seek a loving understanding of all, even those of us I don’t understand and with whom I disagree.

I see a pair of cardinals almost daily in my yard. And very often see and hear a pair of eagles in Menominee Park, where we walk. God is at work.

Pray for son Matthew and his family. They are on a 2 week quarantine as of Wednesday this past week. His daughter was at a daycare where a child came in Monday "ill". Was tested that day.

And Calla the ability to be more understanding. Thank you to all your caring thoughts and prayers. Love Deb and Dan

While walking the neighborhood, we nearly “came too close” to someone walking and looking up.  She said she was trying to find the bird singing for us.  So we too looked up. I didn’t know what type of bird it was or what I was looking for but it was loud and beautiful.  We kept walking and looking as we knew it was in the tall tree across the street. Then, there he was in his striking red glory-a Cardinal sitting way up top.  Too far away to make out clearly but close enough that we knew it was him. And now we know that sound of the Cardinal and were amazed with the experience. Feeling the presence of those that have recently passed, I thanked God.    ~Anne

Got a call from friend Bill. Hadn't been able to reach him for almost a week. His phone seemed disconnected. That was worriesome. It was just a tech problem-- how dependant we are on tech! Hearing his voice made me joyful that he was well and whole.
