Noisy Creation

Some birds are outside the chapel window making a racket and distubing my peace of mind!  Wait a minute.  Did not God make all creation to praise God?  I read that in the psalms.  So God made those birds to sound just like they sound.  They are praising God.  Who am I to complain?  A guy who wants what he wants when he wants it would describe me at these times.

  1. That would describe all of us at times or should I say most times. Thanks for reminding us to sit quietly and gain perspective.

  2. Hah! You describe me when I complain about the birds singing at 4AM. I miss them terrible in the cold and dark of winter yet in the summer I will stagger out of bed at o' dark-thirty to close the window to drown out the chatter.

    I guess the birds are further along in their spiritual practice than I. I have never praised God at 4AM. I have a lot to learn.
