Birds in the sky

BIRDS IN THE SKY

So high that we cannot reach easily.

So swift that we cannot catch them with bare hands.

So beautiful that we cannot let them die just that.

So small that we cannot underestimate their strength.

They are a part of God's wonderful creations.

Who has never even dreamed of flying?

Who, in childhood, has never spread both arms acting like one of the birds?

Who has never liked a bird and sometimes compared self to this little creatures?

We may not be a bird.

But we, in one way or another,

may have once thought of becoming like a bird.

This blog is a collection of five (5) pictures of birds

taken while riding a boat from Bataan going to Pampanga (provinces of Philippines).

And God said, "Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures,

and let birds fly above the earth

in the open firmament of heaven."

Genesis 1:20

"And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove!

Then would I fly away, and be at rest."

LOOK DOWN

"Look down from heaven,

and behold from the habitation of thy holiness and of thy glory: where are thy zeal and thy mighty acts? the yearning of thy heart and thy compassions are restrained toward me."

WINGS

"but they that wait for Jehovah shall renew their strength;

they shall mount up with wings as eagles;

they shall run, and not be weary; they shall walk, and not faint."

Isaiah 40:31

WISER THAN BIRDS

"But none saith, Where is God my Maker,

Who giveth songs in the night, 

Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth,

And maketh us wiser than the birds of the heavens?"

Job 35:10-11

LIFE ON THE BENCH

Life on the Bench.

You could sit on it or you may choose to stand instead.

Playing on and around the bench is fun for the kids.

It could also be a good place to start with your meditation.

And if you feel exhausted, wanted to retire for the day, a short nap on its arm will be fine.

If you have a bench, what it is for you?

How's your life on the bench?

This collection of pictures on the bench were shot candidly at the Luneta Park,

a well-known Park in Manila, Philippines.

For thou, Jehovah, alone makest me dwell in safety."
