Birdbathing

This evening, Steve and I were sitting outside on the front porch. Ah…it is a lovely sight. What caught my eye today were the birds playing in the birdbath. There are several different types of birds, of which are all new to me. The bathing routine toggled between several birds of the same species to mixed species; it was most interesting. All of the birds were accommodating to the others; mama and papa bird obviously teach good manners.

As I watched the birds “being birds in a birdbath” and splashing water all over, I thought of my prayer the last several days. Lord, please send enough rain over this entire country that there will be enough for the land and crops, for food preparation, for washing, for drinking, for bathing, and even for the children to play in it. In my mind’s eye, I picture the children playing and splashing in puddles and in streams, laughing and squealing. Please, Lord, send the rain on Kenya. Please join in prayer.
