Feathered Friends - Matt. 6:26

Behold the fowls of the air . . are ye not much better than they? Matthew 6:26 We have occasional callers, But many feathered friends; Still more with Afric's warblers When dreary winter ends; They fill the air with music, Some sing and others screech, And in their care for offspring, To many-lesson...

An independent spirit only produces frustration and failure as well as wood, hay, and stubble at the Judgment Seat of Christ. As creatures we totally depend upon the Creator.
