Paying attention

So many issues affecting my world right now.
So many conflicts in so many places.
And what has my attention?

Several cardinals decorate the limbs...
so many sparrows orchestrating hymns...
rolling hills across the valley teem
with those upon the wing in steady stream!

On the feeders, branches and the ground
be them that make such harmony of sound!
Of course, I pay attention, as I'm told;
and thus, of issues, I become more bold!

So many issues.
So many solutions right before our eyes! (And ears.)
"Yes, Lord, I hear you.  Thank You for being in control of what is going on and ALL that is yet to happen.  I avail myself to Your use and purpose.
Amen"
