Good morning John.<\/span><\/p>\n

I was sitting on the front porch this morning having my coffee, and watching the birdfeeder.<\/span><\/p>\n

I noticed that there were two cardinals that came down to the feeder at the same time, a male and a female. It was interesting to me that when one of them went to the feeder, the other went to a tree a little distance away, and watched out for the other one. If something unusual happened (like they saw my cat), they would chirp a warning.\u00a0 Then they would switch positions and while the other would eat, the other standing guard.\u00a0 \u00a0They were keeping each other safe. I wondered who taught them how to do that?\u00a0 Did they have a discussion to make that plan, or did their bond just make them do that naturally?<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span> I was sitting here praying for different ones in the meeting, and I thought that it is the same way with us.\u00a0 Nobody tells us to watch out for one another or to pray. We don’t discuss it in advance. Our bond in the light gives us a Love that watches out for one another. Even our marriages can be that way.\u00a0 Or two friends can be that way.<\/span><\/span>
\n
\n<\/span> I love how slowing down to observe things can teach us something good. We can “watch out” for one another, I’m sure in a variety of ways – it’s a sweet feeling to do so.<\/span><\/span>
