Lesson for Life

About a month and a half ago a bird made a nest in our fern plant hanging out in front of our house. We noticed that the bird never left the nest, as far as we could tell. We assumed there were some little birdie eggs that the mother bird was keeping safe beneath her. Our suspicions were confirmed this week as we saw two little baby birds snuggled up to their mother (only one of them can be seen in the picture). Watching this bird barely move for 6 weeks or so was a real reminder for us of the importance of patience and perseverance in life. Sometimes the most beautiful things can only be experienced by waiting patiently and being faithful with what we need to do while we wait.
