When first becoming a resident of Florida in 1984, it was clear that looking up was something that was done more often here than in Indiana. Most likely because the tropical skies are so beautifully blue year round. Yet, having nature rarely displaced due to weather, focusing skyward to observe the birds building their nests becomes part of your every day.
What was noticed today was the building of oversized nests. One particular bird landed on a wire, close to the nest with a rather long twig, appearing to attempt to discern where was the twig going to be placed. It was clear, even through the eyes of a wingless mortal, that there was already more than normal stacked layer upon layer.
The realization that these times are so uncertain that even the birds are plentifully planning ahead made this mortal feel a little less angst. There was suddenly an awareness that we are as is often spoken today 'in this together'...and not just mortals but every living, breathing factor that exists.
Yes, we're all in this together and we will all get through it...together. 'Together' is why Jesus was sent here. 'Together' is why He was willing to endure a Life and death of much grief. 'Together' is why He rose from the grave. 'Together' is why we were blessed with an opportunity to be filled with and live through the Holy Spirit.
Tomorrow...the day that Hope is celebrated.
Tomorrow...the day that brings it all 'Together'...
Tomorrow...THAT is the day that really matters.
