The Nest...

About a month ago, a bird started making a nest underneath the roof that covers the entrance of the business where I work.


I couldn't believe a bird would try to make a nest there because my employer has gone to great efforts to prevent such a thing. I assume they don't want bird droppings all over the concrete outside the front door! 

There are spikes set all along the inside of the roof covering and this is why it was so interesting to see a bird actually make a nest among the spikes. 


I snapped a few pictures of her building the nest and to tell you the truth, almost forgot about it. Until, last week, when I heard birds peeping inside the nest and the mother bird feeding them!



I felt a wonderful feeling inside when I saw that she'd succeeded in building a nest there and that her baby birds were alive and well.

It seems such a simple, natural thing for a bird to build a nest, lay eggs and mother her babies. But the extraordinary effort she went to to build her nest and provide a safe place for her babies amazed me. I was so proud of this mother bird outside the window at work! lol

Even though she was discouraged to build a nest there, she did it anyway.
Even though it was an unusual place to build a nest, she did it anyway.
Even though the spikes were sorta dangerous, she did it anyway.
Even though we were all staring at her like she was a crazy bird, she did it anyway. HA!

I guess I love this bird.


To be honest, she couldn't have chosen a better place to build a nest. 💗

Look at the birds of the sky: They don't sow or reap or gather into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren't you worth more than they? Matthew 6:26 (HCSB)
