Lesson #1 Time passes so fast... It seems like just yesterday that my kids were babies.
Lesson #2 Along with this bird, there was another egg that never hatched. As baby continued to grow, momma robin realized that her other baby would never be a baby, so she kicked it out of the nest to crack on the concrete. What God showed me about this is that so many times we focus on what might have been that we miss out on what already is. If momma would have continued to sit on the nest trying to hatch the other egg, she would begin to neglect the baby that already lived.
Lesson #3 A momma's work is never done...nothing more to say about that!!
Lesson #4 Sometimes life scares the bejeebies out of us, but God still holds us in the palm of His Hands. On day 12 of this new life, we had a bunch of people over to our house for Kinsey's graduation celebration. As we were preparing, we scared the baby just one too many times and it literally jumped out of the nest and ran off into the bushes. It wasn't quite ready to fly! We never saw baby again...We kept checking the nest, watching for momma, and praying that she found him, but resting in the fact that God cares about all of His creation. I honestly don't know what became of him. I'm just hoping that he got to try out his wings!
Lesson #5 Life moves on...4 or 5 days have passed, and I was shocked to see momma robin come back to the nest and what does she do? She lays 3 MORE EGGS!
