For the past three days I've been watching a dove and her mate build a nest just outside my window. She sits and eagerly awaits for him to retrieve twigs and branches for their little nest that is quickly growing in weaves and tangles. I watch her dwell in her nest and she observes me living in mine.
Right now the bills are piling up as our car has died for the third time in a month. Insurance is due. We trekked to the grocery store this morning for our weekly hunting and gathering. We just refinanced our home. And I feel terribly guilty for purchasing $6.99 lip gloss last night. I hate financial issues!
So I glance out the window and watch the dove preparing for her future. The lavender bushes in our yard sway to the gentle nudges of the summer breeze. Our peaches are blushing, painted by the sun's warming rays. Right now I am savoring the simple things. When we get too comfortable, sometimes God needs to give us a wake up call to the things that are most important.
