Why do our attitudes today matter in regards to tomorrow?
Both the hummingbird and the vulture fly overhead!
As they look down, all vultures see is rotting meat because that is what they are looking for. Hummingbirds ignore the smelly flesh of dead animals. Instead, they look for the colorful blossoms of numerous plants. Vultures live on what was. Vultures fill themselves with what is dead and gone. Hummingbirds live on what is. They seek new life. They fill themselves with fresh life. Each bird finds what it is looking for. We all do.
Our attitudes can find new life if we will just seek it. If we will fill or refill ourselves with fresh life – aka God’s Holy Spirit – our attitudes will show it.
“Those who wish to sing will always find a song.” Swedish Proverb
