to be a bird

i know birds are so trendy right now, feather extensions, bird cages in the living room, chicken for dinner (haha), but my gram has always been big into birds. and over the past few years i've begun to see the beauty.

lately i've been wishing i was a bird. there are many perks.

sweet birds can flit from tree to tree, enjoying the sunshine and blue skies
or if they don't want to go anywhere they just sit on a tree limb and sing.
birds are often the symbol of peace because even in storms they stay true, and like Jesus said, they don't freak out about where they will eat or live, but they trust the Lord to care for them.
birds are usually beautiful and graceful.

so today in the midst of life, i want to be a bird, flying from place to place, living the dream, singing a song, sitting on a limb, trusting the Lord.

on side note, Steve Moakler's new album "Watching Time Run" came out today on iTunes and its really good, especially if you love acoustic pop rock, which obviously i do :)
