Tuesday, 29 March 2005 - The Finch family

Dear Lord:

Today, I am thankful for the Finch family.

I am very happy to report that the finches are back! An energetic pair is busily setting up house in the Christmas wreath that decorates our front door. S and I can peer through the peephole to observe the hustle and bustle of nest building. The activity continues despite the blizzard that’s sweeping our valley with wet snow and cold winds.

Last summer, we watched three baby finches grow to maturity. I hope our luck continues this year. In the meantime, we’ve retired the “vacancy” sign and are settling into our roles as the Finch family’s landlord and protector.

For this blessing, I am grateful.

Amen.
