Creations Amazing Osprey
Special
thanks to my nephew Chris who is aware of my bird watching
addiction, and whose keen eyes spotted this
Osprey nest, and then alerted me.
In
my research I found:
Osprey
nests are built of sticks and lined with bark, sod, grasses,
vines, algae, or flotsam and jetsam.
Ospreys
can end up with nests 10–13 feet deep and 3–6 feet
in diameter—easily big enough for a human to sit in.1
This
bird choose to build its nest atop a power pole, which would
by normal standards be a danger point, and unsafe.
In
life, we too are often atop danger points, and unsafe. Opportunities to
fear are all around us. Like the osprey securing a safe place for
its young, in the midst of it all, we have a safe place for our young, promising
freedom from fear atop it all.
Listen
to Words from the Holy Scriptures through the voice of David 
the
Psalmist:
the
Psalmist:
“For He
will conceal me there when troubles come; He will hide me in His
sanctuary. He will place me out of reach on a high rock”.2
“I trust
in God, so why should I be afraid? What can mere mortals do to me”?3
I
say that’s good news. What do you say?
2. Psalm
27:5 3. Psalms 56:11
