Breakfast


Breakfast

In the newness of the early morning as the sun peeks through
something yummy for breakfast is waiting for the garden crew.
Just who is the garden crew?
Let's take a minute to view.

A morning dew
covers like glue
inviting winged creatures to sip
this early morning refreshment.

Yes, their breakfast awaits
though not served on a plate
being sought after
by garden creatures.

Happy bees hum
in golden blossoms
in everyone's vegetable garden.
Gardeners gratefully welcome.

Do take a minute to listen
to their harmonious drone
as they sip from a cup of yellow pollen,
a breakfast filled with good-for-you nutrition.

A just-hatched butterfly seeks morning nourishment
from purple cone flowers, absent of scent,
then off to the garden phlox, which he seems to like best,
before visiting the butterfly bush for breakfast.

Watch him float and glide
as on the breeze he rides
satisfying his hunger
on his morning garden tour.

A hummingbird dines
on red trumpet vine
where ants share a feast
every day of the week.

If you're wearing a red or pink shirt
beware, those hummingbirds might flirt
thinking you're the prettiest flower
of all that grows in your bower.

Mama and papa wren
busily attend
their brood of hungry beaks
as white grubs they seek.

Hear their "me, me, me"
sounding quite greedy
as mama and papa take turns
feeding their offspring this morn.

While robins seek earthworms
to feed starving newborns
a protein breakfast
so they will grow fast.

Do watch from a distance
for robins have an instinct
to protect their young
from potential harm.

Other birds dine
on seeds they find,
heard singing a happy song of praise
to the Creator of all their days.

These and many more
seek breakfast outdoors
alfresco,
perfecto.

Do take time to watch this muse (celebration)
as a motion picture is produced
every morning as breakfast is found
around the world, in every town.

In this world of uncertainty,
God shows us examples of His faithfulness
so that we will have a guarantee,
an assurance, to not worry – but to trust.

As you know, birds do not worry.
Perhaps that's why they're always happy.
Know that God already has a plan to solve your concern.
He's waiting to hear from you in prayer. Don't carry your load alone.

Get in the habit of thanking God before receiving.
That's living a life of active "faith believing!"
In the meantime, God is maturing your faith
as you trust Him to supply His abundant grace.

Do not worry about tomorrow.
Matthew 6:34

Look at the birds of the air;
they do not sow or reap or store away in barns,
and yet your heavenly Father feeds them.
Matthew 7:26

Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways acknowledge him
and he will make your paths straight.
Proverbs 3:5-6

Faith is being sure of what we hope for
and certain of what we do not see.
Hebrews 11:1

Without faith it is impossible to please God,
because anyone who comes to him
must believe that he exists
and that he rewards those
who earnestly seek him.
Hebrews 11:6
