Birds in the Airport

After the excitement of leaving Louisville this morning, we have had an eight-hour layover in Newark. Fortunately, the airport has provided us with some "special guests" to keep us company - tiny birds! I'm reminded of the lyric "God's Eye is on the Sparrow" - but I didn't realize that it meant also that the Sparrow's eye was on me!

One of the birds paid me a visit while I was reading - it hopped onto the seat across from me and posed, as though wanting its picture taken. So... I obliged.

There are often moments when travelling that we don't have the downtime to appreciate the little things around us. I'm grateful that I was able to witness the bird's flight - and that it appreciated the notice. What "moments of zen" have you had in your travels?

    Lucus - Blessings to you and your entire group on this amazing 'experience opportunity'. Sounds like you have begun it in an appropriate manner - being aware of, attentive to, and appreciative of what is around you. Soak it all in and prayerfully analyze what God is teaching you. I am looking ahead excitedly to when I get a personal debrief and the opportunity to live your experiences vicariously through you! Much love - Ibu
