The Flight of the Hummingbird

I make a mean glass of sugar water. Really, I do. You can ask any Hummingbird in our area. They like that I add an extra pinch of sugar to give them that "Out of my mind feeling". Just take a look. Are they high on sugar or what? And they say my kids don't sit still for the camera!

One night after dinner I sat outside amazed at these tiny little creatures. We had 8 of them zipping over my head back & forth to both feeders. Our cats sat next to me looking as if they were watching a tennis match. Poor, Milo, our dog, decided it was safer to lay under the Rhododendron.

God is an amazing God, isn't He? So tiny, so fragile looking... yet so fierce! Those little boogers are nothing more than a dive bomber with a fencing sword. In one of the following pictures you will see one stabbing another on the top of the head. I actually screamed out loud!

If God can give such beauty & amazing agility to something so tiny imagine what He has in store of us! I can't wait to understand His will. Someday!
