A female swallow was injured when she was hit by a car
as she swooped low across the road.
Her mate brought her food and attended to her
with love and compassion.
When he brought her food again,
he was saddened to find her dead.
He tried to move her
which was a rarely seen effort for swallows.
Aware that his sweetheart was dead and would never come back to him again,
he cried with adoring love.
He stood beside her,
heartbroken by her death.
Finally, aware that she would never return to him,
he stayed beside her body
chirping out his sadness and sorrow.
You have just witnessed the
love
and
sorrow
felt by all of God's creatures.
The Bible says that God knows even when a tiny sparrow falls.
How much more
He cares for us!
In this new year ~
may you live simply
love generously
care deeply
and
speak kindly.
Grace is God reaching down
Faith is man reaching back.
