This morning, walking the dog around the yard, I noticed SO MANY cardinals whipping through the air. It was great.

It is so amazing to me that birds inherently know where to go when it gets cold but then always know their way back home...a small wonder, indeed!Laurahttp://www.godwardwithlaura.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7693390593188122891.post-90946492124302731512015-04-13T14:18:00.833-07:002015-04-13T14:18:00.833-07:00Amber.

When I was growing up in southern California the return of the swallows to Capistrano was such a big deal. It saddens me, no matter which they are flying--here or down South, that there are less of them. Thank you for the video link. I'll have to check it out.Jody Lee Collinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16017263035298663701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7693390593188122891.post-66805567964519219682015-04-13T12:35:04.192-07:002015-04-13T12:35:04.192-07:00I used to live close to San Juan Capistrano in Cal...I used to live close to San Juan Capistrano in California. And the annual return of the swallows was quite a treat. It is rather amazing, isn't it, how these birds (and other animals) have a sort of built-in *homing device* - they innately know where they belong. I was reminded of this verse:<br /><br />"He has planted eternity in the human heart..." (Ecclesiastes 3:11, NLT)<br /><br />It's true, that we were made for another place, and we know this in our souls. It's an inner longing, like a whisper of Heaven, a call to come home. And one day we will return. Our souls long for our migration to the side of our Master.<br /><br />May the swallows remind us always of our Hope.<br /><br />GOD BLESS!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00840994989201507494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7693390593188122891.post-35837840445472288202015-04-13T04:12:42.456-07:002015-04-13T04:12:42.456-07:00Amber, I loved this as one day last week I heard c...Amber, I loved this as one day last week I heard chirping out in the yard for the first time this spring. It was such a beautiful & hopeful sound. Amazing the gifts our God drops into our world to bring us hope in Him. Blessings today!
