Abigail's Beauty

Last Friday evening my husband and I saw a bird in our yard. At the time we did not know what kind of a bird it was. I called her Abigail. She flew over our yard and flew towards the river. Her eloquant flight was exquisite. Then after a while she came back and perched herself on a rock overlooking what I call my rock garden. Abigail looked around and rested for a while. I could not help noticing her beauty and elegance as she rested. I said a little prayer for her and told her she was always welcome here. Abigail then flew off and continued on her own personal journey. I thanked God for her visit and the blessing of His beauty shared by Abigail.

Saturday morning I contacted a local bird sanctuary and asked what type of a bird Abigail may be. They told me Abigail was probably from my description a Great Blue Heron. She was grayish blue and white with a long exquisite neck and long beak. Her wing span was almost a big as a turkey. Her head was blue with gray streaks blended in with the blue. I then googled "great blue heron" and was able to confirm Abigail is a great blue heron. She is also a great beauty and one of many of God's precious gifts. Thank you, Abigail for your visit. God bless you.

God bless all animals.

Sir John's Blessing

About a week ago my family and I were blessed with the surprise visit of a bald eagle, Sir John. It was thundering a bit and raining. Sir John perched himself out on a tree in our back yard. The tree is by the Androscoggin River and one of the limbs is leaning low above the river. Sir John rested on this limb for over an hour.

My husband, daughter and I took turns watching him from the window. We wanted to take his picture but we did not want to go outside and disturb him. He just sat and looked around. Maybe he was waiting out the weather. Maybe he was deciding which was the best fish to catch in the river. We really don't know why Sir John made a visit but we certainly were very blessed by his presence. A few minutes before Sir John left a rainbow appeared in the sky! It was almost like Sir John was leaving us a gift before he was on his way. Tears filled my eyes when he left. I am hoping he returns to visit us soon. God bless you, Sir John and thank you for such a beautiful blessing. God bless all eagles and wildlife.

God bless all animals.

Morning Grace

Many mornings during the week I go up and visit my neighbor. We have a cup of coffee, a small prayer and read a devotional together. She has a big window near the kitchen table where you can look out and see the birds at the feeder. One morning I met Gracie, a hummingbird. She peeked her beak up by the window and stayed for a few minutes. Our eyes met and connected. She began her humming and my heart melted. I told her she was beautiful and I loved her humming. Gracie then flew away as I blew her a kiss and lots of love.

My neighbor told me Gracie comes every morning and greets her. As she peeks her little beak up near the window, my neighbor is reminded that her mother, now in heaven, is still with her. My neighbor's mother used to have several hummingbirds visit every year. Hummingbirds were her mother's favorite birds.

I thought about how God always finds little ways to help us remember we are never alone and we are deeply loved. Thank you and God bless you, Gracie.

God bless all animals.
