Outside my window birds gathered in the tree. There were all kinds of birds creating a mosaic of designs against the stark bareness of the winter branches. With the exception of a few berries, the brown thin branches seemed to offer little support. Yet each bird grasped the branch as the wind tossed their foundation about.
One little gray bird caught my eye, as it looked as though it lowered his little head in prayer. I grabbed my camera and captured the scene and spent some time admiring this sweet bird and created a mosaic with my digital paints. 
As I meditated on the image, I thought about the parable and how our life is a mosaic. 
When our world is touched by some adversity we take the time to highlight the simple things that normally escape our consciousness when all is right with the world. 
Just like this little magic, perhaps I would have missed seeing God's hand in nature, had I not been asked to appreciate my health.
I have an appointment with a surgeon on Friday, and although my faith is strong in the Lord, I thought I would ask you for prayer. 
Whether God chooses a miracle or the capable human hands, I know that I will be healed. The song for this post is Healer.Thank you for your prayers.

What a lovely thought that you shared! Thank you, and yes, I will be glad to include you in my prayers. Sometimes I think that God works WITH our physicians/surgeons and nurses to help us with our healing. God bless you! :)
P.S. Thank you for your sweet words about my tatted angel.
Karen of course we will all lift you up in prayer! Open your heart & mind. Think only positive thoughts & tell your self over & over "I will be healed".

Beautiful work with the paint program. i wish i knew how to do that.

I will keep you in my thoughts and prayer as you take the necessary steps toward good health. You have so many "friends" who are squeezing your hands right now and telling you we care, we're concerned and we're here for you. Dana
I pray that our Lord will wrap you in the blanklet of his love. You are his daughter and you spend your time and talents honoring him and he is well pleased with you. I know that he will bless you with a miracle if one is needed. I have prayed and placed you in his capable arms. I will continue to pray for you my friend...Love...mary

Hi Karen,
I am praying for you that God will keep you in His Perfect Peace! I love what you did with the photo of the bird.
Love, Susan
Oh my darling friend, although I will admit to you that I am not of the most religious persuasion....I will be sure and think the most healing and wellness thoughts for you. I will envision your smiling face when it it is proclaimed all is perfectly well...and it will be. A divine intervention cannot possibly proclaim otherwise to such a deserving person as you!
Happy New Year!
XOXOXO
