I Am Totally Receiving

Recently, in a tree right outside my bedroom window I discovered a nest with newly hatched baby birds. I got to see them poke their cute little heads up when the mom came back with worms for them.

A few days later I took another look out the window to see how things were progressing. I saw two non-moving, eyes closed, mouths open baby heads laying across the top edge of the nest. My first thought was that they had died. They sure looked dead. Then a somewhat strong breeze blew and one of the birds closed its mouth. So I thought, well, maybe they are alive.

Ok, that was yesterday. I just looked out the window again and all the babies were sitting in the nest with their heads up, mouths wide open, expectantly waiting for food.

Those sleeping babies yesterday probably fell asleep while their heads were up, mouths open waiting for food. I thought to myself, “Whoa, am I that committed about the things I desire to receive?”
