A pair of lovely goldfinches are busily building a nest just outside one of our windows. These are two ridiculously pretty little birds with perfectly defined bands of golden yellow and glorious red!
What a joy to see them beavering away looking as beautiful as God intended them to look, building their nest, with not a care in the world - even the wind we have today is blowing them all over the place, and yet they sit on a small branch, steady as a rock. What a reminder to be peaceful amongst the winds of life.
It reminds me of Matthew 6:26-34 (NLT)
Look at the birds. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren’t you far more valuable to him than they are? Can all your worries add a single moment to your life?...and so much more heavenly wisdom

@Berrybunchfamily beautiful birds!! I haven't seen a gold finch in.....forever! So pretty!
I too, think of that same verse when I see birds in harsh weather conditions - a perfect example of God's faithfulness and love.
@Berrybunchfamily I wonder if one stays on the perch to protect their territory? 🤔
@MaryMamuzich that's what we thought...certainly appears that way
@MaryMamuzich I'm not sure I've seen one, and especially bit this close. Perhaps 6 feet away!
One sits on a perch. The other goes to build the nest. The pair have been going flat out, returning every 60 seconds or so.
Always one on a perch, while the other goes to the nest withe whatever they've just found for it
