Nature presents many marvelous phenomena which also teach worthwhile life lessons. One I noticed recently has to do with hummingbirds and their eating habits.
Every few days a post-it note appears on my desk with the message – “the hummingbirds are sad.” Time to put more sugar water in the feeder. How do those tiny birds go through the feed so fast ? Ah, there is the lesson – repetition and consistency. Maybe your prayer life could grow with a little more frequent repetition and consistence. Pattern it after the hummingbird. Take little sips all day long – fill your day with moments of thanks, petition and a sense of wonder.
