Daily Meditation: Vulnerable, Like a Bird

DAILY MEDITATION Vulnerable, Like a Bird January 3 Photo courtesy of SDGcards.com Life is precious. Not because it is unchangeable, like a diamond, but because it is vulnerable, like a little bird. To love life means to love its vulnerability, asking for care, attention, guidance, and support. Life and death are connected by vulnerability. The newborn child and the dying elder both remind us of the preciousness of our lives. Let's not forget the preciousness and vulnerability of life during the times we are powerful, successful, and popular. For further reflection... "Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom." - Psalm 90: 12 (NIV) Is there a part of your life which needs special care, attention, guidance or support?
