You cannot deny that God exists and that he has a design and
a purpose. Oh, you can try, but you will
be hard pressed to contradict the intricacies and beauty obvious in creation.
Today we began the letter N at preschool in our kitchen. I searched my mind’s files for activities
that would fit. One word that reoccurred
was nest. Simple, right. My little girl cut, colored, and traced. We got the big idea. Then, I googled a video showing a bird
building a nest. Thankfully, someone in
South Africa took the time to post such a thing. I did not know how a video would melt my
heart and bring me to a moment of worship with Maddie and my littlest
girl.
We watched with amazement.
No one taught this small bird her role of building a home
for her family, but God. No one sat to
practice the art of painstakingly weaving piece after piece of grass into a
shelter, but God. No one modeled
choosing the right length and strength of each blade of grass, but God. No one prepared this small creation for the
extent of time it would take to finish such a masterpiece, but God. Yes, God created this bird, beautiful in
itself, to prepare a beautiful piece of art, fit for a new family.
But God cares for us even more. Wow.
The letter N took on new meaning for my girls and me
today.
