Bird talks and the little things.

I had just finished typing the outline for the sermon that I will preach on Wednesday (make sure you click HERE to view it at 7pm) and was preparing to re-up on food before sitting down for to write this #MondayMessage when I heard a loud conversation outside. I called my bestie to tell her all about it:

Me: Girl, I’m here livin’ my best life and they outside makin’ so much noise!
Amy: Who?
Me: These birds! They have been talkin’ for a long time; it’s the Sabbath Day, they should be restin’!
Amy: (now fully laughing at my silliness) Maybe they havin’ service…
Me: Hol’ on, they all makin’ noise and leavin’… I think someone got saved!
Amy and Me: Hallelujah! (explosion of laughter)

*I make no apologies for the fact that we converse in full–on Bestie Language. 🙂

With the seriousness of everything going on around us, God gently spoke to my heart and told me to start this week’s post off with some laughter. It is my sincerest prayer that you, too, can find some humor in the midst of your day.

For two weeks I have spoken about COVID-19 and its reverberating impact on the world. Today I just want to talk to you. I’m not going to laden this post with scriptures that you may or may not care to read, I’m not even going to make this a long read, but what I am going to do is share some love and laughter with you today. The beauty of being on a social media fast, coincidentally, during a pandemic is that I am not privy to the endless fear-inducing posts that have been shared. The downside of it all is that I’m probably missing some really beautiful pictures of nature, love, and inspiration. I don’t know about you, but when the big things are weighing down on me, it’s the little things that help to refocus me. So, here, beloved; let’s look at some little things and lighten our hearts in the midst of what’s happening around us.

I love you; be blessed.
