Monday, 20 June 2005 - An empty nest

Dear God:

Today, I am thankful for an empty nest.

It's late Saturday morning. I peer through the front door peephole to spy on the Finch family. I smile as I watch Mama Finch feed her four hungry and growing children. I sense that this is one of the last times I will see the family together. I know in my heart that the fledglings are reaching maturity and anxious to test their wings.

I was right. By early evening, the nest is empty.

For this blessing, I am grateful.

Amen.
