I’m sitting here in the four seasons room of my home. It’s nestled quietly next to a tree outside, and the room is encased with windows (which I have open in here in the middle of summer).

There is a nice breeze sweeping through and cooling me off just enough.

To the North, outside of that window, there is a birds nest. Inside that nest were eggs.

Now, those eggs have become little babies. They are adorable to say the least. I have watched them from the very beginning. My wife and children have been very excited about these little ones too.

There is one incredible thing that I have noticed, and a thought I cannot seem to shake.

This is nothing profound, really. When I try to think about it this way, though, it is actually mind-blowing.

We are all sort of doing the same thing.

I am sitting in this room just like the bird is sitting in the nest. I built this house, the bird built the nest. I am on my MacBook working to feed my family. My little ones count on me. The 3 little Robins count on their mother.

We are equally yoked. I get money from work. The money buys food. The bird has to fly around and look for worms and returns back with them.

This goes on and on all the way to the plant sitting next to me.

It is gathering sunlight, nutrients, water, and air to thrive. It then produces other little ones and gets them started from the nutrients it gathered to produce the little ones.

On and on.

To the grass.

To the iddy biddy lil bugs near my wife’s garden.

Every single thing here is fed and taken care of from the absolutely perfect ecosystem.

The Creator gathers the clouds and pours down water where he wills and knows there is need.

Rain creates produce.

We are under submission to the Creator whether we like it or not. The Almighty has commanded the sun to rise and set. He has commanded all things and all things work in perfect harmony… except for us.

Mankind has a special trait. A special character. We have options. Choices define us.

The difference between us and the rest of creation, is that we tend to transgress our guidelines. When those transgressions happen, we cannot walk worry-free through this life and surely not the next.

Imagine if the sun had a choice to not rise, and wanted to be lazy.

Imagine if the clouds wanted to stay fat and bloated and not give forth water.

Everything would suffer.

When you go against what God has for you in your life, all sorts of things suffer in your life. Those little birds that count on you to provide for them take the hit. When the mom bird teaches them to eat (according to the commandment given by the Creator), it will fare just fine. It will live a full life and then teach its young to eat in the same way. If the mother bird was selfish, or a drunk bird, or a gambling bird – the young would learn the ways and then ruin its own offspring.

This goes deep my friends. If this is making sense and hitting home to you, make a change while you can.

It’s a new day, and a new opportunity to fall in sync with nature, your Creator, and your purpose in this life.

Create and build the nest and life of your dreams, but don’t forget to

F L O W.
