Last Saturday, I took my wife to Ross’s in Ft. Oglethorpe
looking for a dress for our granddaughter’s upcoming wedding. But we were met with a bevy of Clift Swallows
that had taken over the entrance of the store.
The plastered finish and two protected overhangs provided the perfect
place for the swallows to nest. Nearby
fields and a swamp provided mosquitos galore.
The birds were out of reach and well entrenched in their new
habitat. It will be interesting to see
how they are evicted from their new-found homes. And I’m sure that they will be evicted
because they are making such a mess at the front door of the store. Nest-building mud and bird poop are
splattered all over the sidewalk! Not a
welcoming sight for any business! But
the swallows don’t care. They are simply
looking for a home. Opportunists who
take advantage of any situation. And
like little birds, God honors those who are tenacious. James 1:12, “Blessed is the man that endureth
temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the
Lord hath promised to them that love him.”
God will reward the faithful, not with a tiny nest in a crevice, but
with an eternal home in heaven!
