Hummingbirds and Dandelions

We have a hummingbird who has given us many hours of entertainment. He sits atop the feeder for hours at a time, sunshine or rain, his little head moving back and forth in constant vigilance against other birds. This must be exhausting.

How unfortunate he cannot know the supply of nectar is endless since we monitor and refill it as necessary. It will never run out.

I realized God’s blessings and grace is the same for us. There is enough for everyone and we need not decide who is worthy and who is not, or fight to conserve a meager supply.

Imagine letting go all the frenetic activity and instead “looking to see something beautiful is about to happen,” as Patricia Livingstone suggested in my, Living Faith, meditation for today.

We can also think of it this way.
