Uplifting sights !
















The day break sights above in our garden today, had a mixture of bird behaviours, which fascinated me!

The common Iora with fibres between its beaks, announced its nesting intent. I kept looking for its pair in the vicinity. 


I noticed the Iora moving to the nutmeg tree with the collection for its nest ! It disappeared into the foliage of the tree, loosing itself into the romance of a making a nest for itself!

The Magpie robin and Bulbul singing, Barbet and Sunbird finding their feed courtship, the Bulbul birds sunbathing, the common Iora preparing its nest and the Lantana flowers looking brilliant with the rain drops, together created an ambience of wellness within.

I felt like breathing in the aroma of goodness that God provides for everyone! 

On a Sunday morning, these sights added to the worshipful longing within !

'O, Lord, my God, when I in awesome wonder,
Consider all the worlds thy hands have made,
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder, 
Thy power throughout the universe displayed:

Then sings my soul, my saviour God, to thee;
How great the art! How great thou art!
Then sings my soul, my saviour God to thee,
How great thou art! How great thou art!...'

(Hymn by Carl Boberg (1859-1940), translated by Stuart k.Hine into English in 1986)
