Dear Diary,
The new house has some unique intrigue. Every morning, I can count on either hot air balloons or sand cranes, or potentially both in abundance. And rainbows seem to arrive every evening on my way home. These are simple pleasures.
But I always find it peaceful and reassuring in the morning, when I'm more tired than I could possibly imagine, and more discouraged due to lack of sleep and lack of dates, and I hear in overwhelming volume the sand cranes calling back and forth to each other from across the neighborhood. If I didn't already have to be awake, I might view this quite differently. The volume and peculiar noise these birds create can be too much for one who wants to stay in bed.
But seeing these birds who are always in pairs, makes me happy to know that God created "soul mates" for birds. I don't think I've ever seen a "single" sand crane. Another "Friends" episode comes to mind when Phoebe calls Ross Rachel's "lobster." And I recall the video of the otters on youtube who are lounging and holding hands. I love that animals can enjoy this companionship.
The passage comes to mind "Consider the birds of the air..." Perhaps it's not talking about soul mates specifically, but I still think that if God gives as such to the sand cranes, then He's got someone in mind for me too.
Just wonder if He's thinking of revealing him to me tomorrow...
