I sit here this morning looking out the window at the pond and this sweet view of mine, waiting for the words to come to introduce this special video…and, then, I hear him.  Yes, there he is…knocking lightly at first ~ and, I am up on my feet in seconds reaching for my camera because these are moments my heart doesn’t ever want to forget.  And, he waits for me…he sits in the Camellia tree waiting for me. Then, as usual, beak to window…knocking harder as though he has an important message for me to hear.  I snap a few pics as he flaps his wings excitedly and flies off.  And, then, the song begins.  I hear them singing, frantically, excitedly…these are truly the best words to describe this early morning melody.  It’s as though they are calling me ~ “Ann~Margaret, come out to see us…come watch us…come witness our miracle.”  And, so I go, and another photo session begins.  As I walk onto the patio I follow the music and find them instantly…just around the side of the house.  And, there he is as though to say, “See, I told you it would be worth your time to see this JOY.”  And, it is…it’s so very worth it.  *Yes, the male sometimes comes first or by himself while the female is busy!  🙂

*This is Granny Birdie in all her beauty and glory!*

I don’t ever want to be too busy, too full of worry, too anxious, too filled with what seems to be priorities, too much of a “to do list” to miss these moments…to miss God’s messages and to see His beauty…to witness His miracles.  May I always have eyes that are willing and longing to see, may I always have a heart that knows there is always beauty to be found.  And may I always know that no matter how difficult, sad, confusing, scary, unbelievable life may be at times, that GOD’S PROMISES are so much LARGER THAN LIFE…always.

I truly was sitting here this morning…had written a few sentences that just didn’t flow for the introduction as I wanted them to…then, the knocking came.  Yes, that was just the inspiration I needed to fill my heart.  I could have missed it, I could have not been open to seeing and witnessing it…I am so thankful I stopped what I was doing to go fill my cuppa with a whole lotta JOY!  I hope this video does this for you…I hope it inspires you, fills your heart with love, peace, and HOPE.  I hope it encourages you, and I hope it is a sweet reminder that beauty truly does bloom all around us!  May my story touch your soul…and, maybe you will have a few of these sweet friends visiting you.  And, just maybe they will add a sweet dose of comfort to your days when you spot them and maybe allow your heart to remember that someone special you may be missing!

This story is dedicated to my sweet granny, my namesake ~ Margaret Boyd ~ a LIGHT that will forever shine in my life and heart.

Now, grab your fave cuppa, and enjoy the video….yes, it’s a bit long, but I hope you will watch the entirety of it even if you have to split it up between your morning and afternoon teatimes!  🙂  And, I must make a little NOTE here: **I am NOT pregnant…yes, while watching the video I realized that some of my thoughts at the end may sound as though that is what I am going to be sharing with you later…but, it’s not…sorry to disappoint.  🙂  That is all in God’s timing, I truly believe this!! Now, sit back and enjoy this sweet little movie debut below ~ created from my HEART just for YOU!  🙂
