it's a stage

"You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance." Psalm 32:7

Under the wings of their mom and nestled deep in the nest, the baby birds prospered...

High and hidden in the leafy fern basket, the parents constantly prepared, fed and safely raised the family.

Through each stage, parental protection surrounded them as they grew and developed  sufficient wing strength to fly away.

And in the end, a quiet, empty nest provided reason to celebrate.  
It ended as God intended... it always does.

We are loved and chosen by God,

may we live like we believe it,
