Hummingbirds are often territorial and like to chase each other away from this feeder. But this day must have been cold and snowy enough that they decided to get along together.
I like the following Bible verses:
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
1 Corinthians 13:6,7
I’m not sure these hummingbirds think about love, but I like how these verses in a partial way help explain what love is. It is a single word that almost defies explanation but embodies everything that is good. It is like God took all the good concepts and boiled them down to a single word. Jesus carefully pointed out that the most important laws were to love God and to love our neighbor. But what exactly does that mean?
It seems like that is what we are here to find out. For today I’m going to ponder what it means to rejoice in the truth, protect, trust, hope, and persevere.
It looks like the hummingbirds are learning to coexist while they persevere.
