I have full plate of stuff going on right now. So much God is doing in my life. There are no less than 4 things that are weighing heavily on my heart these days. So when I have time with Ski, it is sweet and such a blessing and a time of respite.
We had a date night tonight. We were talking about a lot of things. God is really using the trials of my life to bring us even closer together. Over the past few months, God has really been doing a work in my life and I stand amazed at what He has done!!
We were enjoying sweet and quiet conversation while we sat on a bench this evening in a tree-lined area. After awhile, a male and female cardinal came and sat on a bench across from us. It was obvious they were together. They flitted to and fro and they finally settled on the top of the bench back. After a little, the male dropped down to the seat area. After poking around a little, he returned to the bench back and approached his mate and fed her something into her beak. He repeated this action nearly ten times before she finally flew to the ground in a bush nearby. He soon followed. I learned later that this is mating behavior and that the male will often feed his mate beak to beak. It was a precious sight!!!!
God was so kind to show us this tenderness between birds. It was such a touching moment and we laughed awhile as we watched. I asked them if they were on a date night as well. Obviously, they were. I later discovered that he was feeding her bits of a discarded sandwich crust.
I am so grateful for my dearest husband who cares for me so tenderly as the male cardinal did this evening.
