Singing When I Am Hurt?
Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Jul 16, 2024 (message contributor)
WHEN I AM HURT? GO FIGURE? I LOVE BIRDS. I LOVE TO WATCH BIRDS. EACH FAMILY OF BIRDS HAVE THEIR OWN DISTINCTIVE CHARACTERISTICS.
In my limited study of birds I ran across WHAT IS CALLED ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SONG BIRDS. This SINGING BIRD is unique in many ways. This special little bird is called THE THRUSH SPARROW. This THRUSH SPARROW has many songs that it sings. The experts say the THRUSH SPARROW is known for the most beautiful songs that it rarely sings. The two most beautiful songs the THRUSH SPARROW sings are rare. The THRUSH SPARROW sings the most beautiful songs under certain conditions. THE BEAUTIFUL SONGS ARE SANG WHEN THE THRUSH SPARROW IS HURT REAL BAD. There is another time this beautiful song is sand: when the THE THRUSH SPARROW sings the absolutely MOST BEAUTIFUL SONG is during A TERRIBLE STORM. The dark clouds roll in, the THRUSH SPARROW grabs a hold of a song branch and holds on.
The THRUSH trust the branch during the storm. THE MOST WONDERFUL SONG comes out of the bird’s heart. If the branch breaks the THRUSH SPARROW trusts its wings to carry them to a new branch. THE THRUSH SPARROW may not understand the HURT or the STORM but the little sparrow trust the branch and it trust its wings. NOW GO FIGURE THAT?
In the darkest night and the greatest pain this little bird sings its best song.
OUR ETERNAL ENEMY PLAN IS TO STEAL YOUR SONG AND KILL YOUR HOPES AND DREAMS. My friend, when the hurt is crushing and the storm seems endless. RAISE YOUR HEAD, PUT YOUR SHOULDERS BACK AND SING TO THE TOP OF OUR VOICE. MY GOD REIGNS SUPREME.
