The weather forecast for the day was hot, so I set out unusually early on my daily walk. I noticed the birds singing their cheery songs and thought of these words from one of Mary Baker Eddy’s hymns:
Brood o’er us with Thy shelt’ring wing,
Neath which our spirits blend
Like brother birds, that soar and sing,
And on the same branch bend.
(Christian Science Hymnal, No. 30)
I realized that the songs were always an innate part of the birds’ expression of God, divine Love. How helpful it is to know love and joy are intrinsic.
