Creation speaks

"I tell you that if these (his disciples) should keep silent the stones would immediately cry out."

Jesus, Luke 19:40

Creation has a story to tell, words whispered into the wind. She gives glory to her Maker, the Maker of heaven and earth.

Creation is full to bursting of things to teach our children should they have an ear to hear. She is my favourite tutor, these sparrows drink deep of things they can touch and see and smell.

Daddy sparrow with the help of small eager hands built this 'bird builders yard'. We hung it next to our feeding station, which we have a wonderful view of from the lounge. The sparrows stocked it with nest building materials- string, cotton wool, moss, grass and hay....Now we wait to see what the birds will choose...

"Come look, come look.... signs of Spring mummy" and I was greeted by lovingly piled Dandelions and Daisies pinched from our lawn (and yes it IS full of them!). So easily overlooked by all, but worthy of enthusiasm in their eyes....

Our new babies, delivered not by a stork but by thoughtful neighbours in a tiny glass jam jar. Endless hours of education swimming right in front of our eyes. One week later and the glass hotel is full of boisterous bodies swimming round in circles. Many times have I found little knees crouched in front of these new friends gazing in wonder!

A trip to the seaside unearthed many treasures which made the ridiculous flight of stairs we had to tackle with pushchairs galore so worth it!

Planting out, dirt, spades and watering cans, they were as happy as pigs in mud. We planted 2 varieties of these potatoes, a gift from the 'Potato council'. There is one buried in soil in 2L coke bottle on the kitchen window sill so the sparrows (and I!) can see how the potatoes come to be.

And so much more! Creation, she is no respecter of persons and is ready to inspire all those who have time to spare to seek her out...
