I've spent a good part of today admiring the blizzard out my window. A little bit ago, I glanced up from my screen at a wonder of this crazy place we live in. The snow is coming sideways, it is just becoming twilight, a huge flock of birds just landed on a tree outside my window. It was still covered with tiny crab apples from last summer. They had a feast and moved on. What a wonder to see! In this place, with all that is going on, a plan was in place to feed those birds in a blizzard. I find that remarkable and a wonderful way to clear my mind of worry. There is a plan, not to worry! Have a blessed new year. Stay well. Love one another.

So many awesome things take place daily around us - and generally I'm too busy to notice. Thank you so much for sharing this - yes, there is a plan and I need not worry. I was blessed by this :)

It's so good that you shared not just the story but the lesson. I am very grateful to have found a group who is God-centered. Isn't it wonderful to be able to be express our true feelings, especially about our beliefs?

How can anyone "not" believe there is a plan.

It is amazing how much time I spend worrying and then up missing the things that prove to me that it is really wasted time.

I agree. We are in God's plan. Be aware of the plan everyday, so we don't miss anything like the crabapples
for a meal.
