This is what the chickadees look like now -- how they've grown! Proud of the little mama who has taken such good care of them all these weeks!

"The only way to see God manifested in the world around is with the eyes of Jesus within. God within is the One seeing God without. God is both the object of my seeing and the subject who does the act of all real seeing, the Word-lens the inner eye wears. To sit in the theater of God and see the fountain of His grace -- thousands of gifts -- I have to split the heart open to more and more of Jesus. [John 16:13-15]
Who can split open the eyelids but Jesus? He tears the veil of the Holy of Holies, gives me the only seeing I have. I have been lost and now I am found and I sing it softly, before the [hatching of baby birds]: "Be Thou my vision, O Lord of my heart. . . ."

She was stunned from hitting the window, but after a while she flew off to the trees.
