Spiritual Thoughts on a Bird's Nest

I was out pruning the Bradford Pear trees that line my yard this afternoon and discovered this nest and these eggs hidden in the branches.

It reminded me of two things:

1.  The work of church planting (and parenting, for that matter).  Building a nest.  Nurturing growth.  Patient waiting for God's timing.

2.  God's providential care for his saints.  "He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust" (Psalm 91:4).
