i really did spend too much time this summer watching hummingbirds. one thing in particular that really bothered me was the mean bird. this hummingbird even looked mean. it had a black head, beak, wings, back, and tail, a white stomach, and a bright red throat so that it looked like it was wearing a black cloak with a red brooch. this hummingbird was constantly hovering around the feeder and chasing away all of the other birds.
i spent so much time devising ways that i could capture this mean bird. finally, i settled on a satisfactory trap idea...but it's too complicated to explain and i never actually put it into action.
why did i dislike that hummingbird so much? well, that bird reminds me of me at my worst. i dislike me at my worst.
our feathered friend was trying very hard to control his surroundings and he got terribly upset when he wasn't in control. also, he forgot to care about his fellow birds and ended up being very selfish in his relationships with them.
yep. i can be like that. much more often than i'd care to admit.
in relation to anyone this attitude is harmful, that includes in relation to my brothers. i don't want to be a mean hummingbird in a shadowy cloak. i should ask Jesus to help me have the attitude of a good sister rather than the attitude of a rude bird.
