Mariana and Nelson

For a litttle over one year I have been feeding the birds every morning. The birds greet me and I say good morning to them. Blue Jays, Crows and Doves are the most frequent visitors to the feeder. I have heard that Doves mate for life. Mariana and Nelson, two of my favorite doves, visit the feeder every day and spend the day nearby in my yard. Sometimes they play together and other times they just sit close to eachother. I sit on the porch and just enjoy their nearby comfort. Sometimes I may hear thunder and I watch to see what Mariana and Nelson are doing. They stay together and when the thunder is really close they fly off together to safety, until after the storm. Once the storm has passed Mariana and Nelson fly back and sit on their favorite perch in my yard.

Whenever I feel overwhelmed or alone, I just have to go outside and look for my two favorite doves. As soon as my eyes see them, I am filled with peace and comfort. They have taught me that God is always nearby. God can speak to us without using words. He can speak through the loving comfort of two precious doves. God bless Mariana and Nelson and all birds. God bless all animals and the gentle messages of God's comfort, peace and love they share with us.
