Last night while eating dinner, I noticed this bird, in the picture, on my deck railing. She was flapping her wings as if to dry them or to stretch them. As I watched, a Carolina wren flew up to her with a seed in its mouth. It gave the seed to her by putting it in her beak. Then the wren flew back to my window feeder and got another seed. It flew back to the bird and fed her again. This happened several times. The bigger bird tried to fly to the feeder but was unable to land there. Although the bigger bird could fly some, I think its flight was limited. Finally they both flew off.Female of unknown species Carolina Wren I was amazed to see how the little bird was looking after the big bird. It was clear that they were different species. It reminded me how we are to care for one another and of how God cares for us. It was cool! Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience....And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. Colossians 3:12 and 17 I shared this story with my mom and she thinks the big bird is actually a baby cowbird. The cowbird mom lays her eggs in another bird's nest and then the other bird raises her young. Doesn't sound right does it? Anyway, the wren was happily doing her job of raising the cowbird. Sometimes things don't go the way we planned, yet are we willing to do our best -- and feed the baby that really isn't ours? Oh, Lord may it be so with me.
