A Bird (Not) In the Branches

Proverbs 16:9 The heart of a man plans his way, but the lord establishes his steps.

Tap tap…thump…tap. I’ve been sick for three days and all my aching body wants is some rest.   Apparently the bird outside my window does not realize this. He is flying from window to window outside my bedroom, tapping and sometimes even loudly thumping like he is desperate to get inside. I don’t know why; I’m not sure the bird knows why either. Maybe he sees something he likes in here, or maybe he’s curious about what is on the other side of that shiny glass?

What is he looking for?

I have no idea, but as I was putting the covers over my head and trying to muffle the noise, I felt like God was giggling at me.
