this morning i was having my breakfast and from the window of my kitchen i saw a couple of doves,the male was flying around bringing material to build the nest and the female dove was tirelessly arranging the nest...so beautiful to watch...it just attracts you to the here and now...i remembered Lord Jesus:
"look at the birds in the sky,for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feed them. Are you not much better than they?" (Matthew 6.26) |

We are in a strikingly similar symbolic world: There was a nesting pair of doves outside our window this spring. So gentle, and graceful, and peacefully cooperative, and blended with their ecosystem. I have also been meditating on a teaching parallel to the one you quoted. I was looking at the beautiful flowers and thinking, "Why worry about clothes? Notice how the wild lilies grow: they don't slave and they never spin. Yet let me tell you, even Solomon at the height of his glory was never decked out like one of them." (Matthew 6:28)
This past week, the doves suddenly were gone. The nest empty and disorderly. The eggs were probably eaten by the squirrel who hangs out on that tree. I wonder if the doves felt sad as they moved on to another place. |
