A Light in the Dark
Mocking Bird Family By Mjmyap Flickr
Tuesday night I was sitting at the table with my bedtime glass of milk and a book. It was about 11 PM. I became aware of a mockingbird outside my window in the cedar tree just singing its heart out. The song was incredibly beautiful and I silently blessed this bird for giving me so much pleasure.
About 4 AM I got up to go to the bathroom and the little bird was still singing. When I awakened in the morning the bird was silent. I think God knows that nights are sometimes very tough for me and so he sends me a mockingbird to help me through the darkness.
Last night at 1 AM I again was sitting at the table with my glass of milk and book and outside the window was the glorious song of the mockingbird. I don’t really know why it sings all night long but I do know that the song was given to me by a loving God who gives me hope for the future and calm for the present. I am truly blessed.
