These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

A Bird's Nest

A home is where the heart remains,
a place to bring up young.
Each home for a bird will daily gain
it's hope as joy be sung.

Security it finds to nest
by God's blest altar, rare.
It knows its home is truly blest
no other place as there.

The sparrow finds its firm abode
within the Lord's great House.
The swallow rests from a weary load
with children and her spouse.

We humans need to take advice
from little birds, the wise.
Our greatest home without a price
is Him, Who never lies.

"Even the sparrow finds a home,
and the swallow builds her nest and raises her young
at a place near your altar,"
(Psalm 84:3, NLT)
