I have never written this down anywhere but the memory of it all is still very vivid in my mind.

It was back in January when we were dealing with “Tracy drama”. We were in the middle of trying to figure out if Tracy was pregnant or not.

I was over at my parents’ house because emotionally I just could not deal with lawyer phone calls and Tracy drama on top of taking care of Little Bug.

My parents have a huge window in their living room. In a quiet moment, as I was waiting on a phone call, I walked over to that window and looked out.

Framed between the trees and a neighbor’s house, as I looked out the window I saw a flock of birds flying freely.

Immediately this verse popped into my head:

Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Matthew 6:26

I stood there and watched those birds. I thought about the fact that God knew exactly what was going to happen and He promised to take care of my every need.

I stepped away from the window for a brief moment and then came back to find the birds had flown away.

In that quiet moment God spoke to my heart by allowing me to see those birds and be reminded that God takes care of the birds of the air – He will certainly take care of me.

He did.

And He does – every day.
