Spring is just around the corner. I can feel it in my bones.
Along with the advent of flowers and baby geese which might take over our yard this year I anticipate the return of the hummingbirds. I love these guys. They always amaze me.
I think we can definitely learn something from hummingbirds, don’t you? While they look like they are chaotically flying all over they have a definite purpose in their travels.
Find the food source.
Find the place where they can be fed time and time again.
Find the one place that consistently offers sustenance.
For me that source is God. He is the source of constant nourishment even when I neglect Him. He does not leave me. The hummingbirds remind me that I need to hover more closely to that source of life . I need to walk the walk a bit better. I need to fly closer to the source of the provider of all things. I need to graciously acknowledge each and every day that the chaos that is sometimes present in life can be calmed if only I realize where to direct those chaotic actions.
So today I am going to adopt the hummingbird way of life and flit to the source that makes me complete—-my loving Father in Heaven.

Leave a commentThe hummingbird is indeed a special creature. I often chose it as my spirit animal. We can learn so much from God´s creatures. Great pictures. xo
Great post to remind us of God’s grace and mercy, the source of strength, especially on difficult days. Thinking of you (and praying) especially today.
Great comparison! And your pictures are wonderful. I, too, am looking forward to those amazing little creatures returning to our area.
Wow. The one with the hummer at rest is good enough for Zazzle!
Thanks!!!
Bring Spring on
I bet you are ready!
My grandparents have always had hummingbird feeders and I have always loved watching them come up to the feeders to eat. A great way of thinking of God as our source!
