July 22, 2015 I'm going to start today to record on a daily basis whatever happens to strike my fancy. So, it is a very cool breezy day. I just posted 5 short book reviews to The Monthly Reading Challenge. I'm suppose to put away some winter wood today from the woodpile outside but I'm playing hookey from work to write so starting this blog will get done. I'm having a daily fight with a flock of English Sparrows that are trying to take over my barn. They are making a terrible mess so they have to go. I have destroyed several nests so far they don't leave but they get out of the barn when I am around. I'm just starting the fight so I guess I don't know how far I have to go to discourage them. I'm trying not to spread myself to thin on WDC because I find so many things that are interesting here and I am trying to work on a new story. I really enjoy sitting at my desk with a cup of tea and reading blogs on WDC. |

Congratulations on your virtual blogging adventure!](https://images.Writing.Com/imgs/writing.com/writers/badges/group-BCoF_2-1901868_14.gif) HI:I was just watching a crow family out my window. Every year they hatch one baby that winters with them. This year must be more dangerous for them. Other years Mom, dad, and fledgling fly into feed together. I put some feed out on the ground, because they are too large to land comfortably in the feeder. This year the female sits on the bird bath while junior feeds. I see the larger male fly into a tree in the background keeping watch. This does not have much to do with giving thanks except that I'm glad I've been around long enough to notice a family of birds each year. There is something new every day for a reason to be thankful. One day I was in a worship meeting. when people were coming to the altar at the end of the meeting, I heard a minister tell someone it wasn't necessary to give thanks to the Lord because the Lord freely gives. This was many years ago. And who knows what the context of the situation was? Still I know enough scripture to think it was one of those odd moments when you wonder why you saw it and heard it. Here are some references. Ephesians 5:19-20//giving thanks always for everything. I Thessalonians 5:16-18//give thanks in all circumstances for this is the will of God Psalms 34 /this is one of David's psalms when God blessed him during one of life's struggles. Psalms 100 There are many extremely important examples throughout scripture. Examples of people who lived before us and struggled with life's many hardships yet always believed in God's goodness. |
