Something to Sing About

Fountain Creek Regional Park, Fountain, Colorado

I hope that you like birds because the next seven blogs feature some of God's winged creations. As many of you know, I had toe surgery on April 2, 2013. For nearly a month I didn't go on a photo shoot. I chose Fountain Creek Regional Park as my first outing after surgery because of the level, well used trail and because of the challenge of taking pictures of birds.

Since the birds are protected in this park, they like to show off.

"The birds nest beside the streams and sing among the branches of the trees." Psalm 104:12 New Living Translation

This day the birds were singing. If you look closely at this Red Winged Blackbird not only will you note that his wings are spread but you will see his beak wide open.  It was happy.

What causes you to sing, you know, to make melody in your heart if not with your lips? Is it the birth of a baby, a hole-in-one or a perfect score on a test? These things can make us happy, but to sing with joy takes something else.

You are a child of God. Through the baptismal stream you have been adopted into God's family. You are not the sum of your failures or successes. You are God's child.

Now that is something to sing about!
