Nesting


A couple of years ago, Lorraine and I went on a trip to Greece. This is a picture of the ruins of the temple to the Goddess Dianna. Dianna was a fertility Goddess worshipped as the mother of all living things. Ironically, on the top of the lone remaining pillar is a stork's nest. When I see this picture I'm reminded of the true God of all creation. It was Jesus who encouraged us to give to God all of our heavy burdens and to learn to nest and rest in God's great love and care. After all if God cares for the sparrows, how much more does God care for us!
