Miffed

I’ve been a little miffed while watching silhouettes.

There is a lot of activity in the tree just outside my window.

A large variety of birds visit the spindly branches.

I want to see them clearly; but, in the morning light,

I have to settle for distinguishing them by shape and size.

I told the LORD that I love His feathered friends.

I shared the desire to learn more about them.

He has been training me.

And I just noticed.

I love those moments when I finally get a clue.

I have to laugh at myself

and shake my head to clear out the silliness.

Understanding turns frustration into amazement.
