"I love you!"

I just got back from an awesome time staying at some friends home in Ludington where 2 of my boys played in the Gus Macker tournament (and played VERY WELL, I must say). The Macker is why we went up there and was quite an experience providing wonderful memories, but the Macker wasn't what stirred my soul this weekend.  What really captured my attention and wonder was the peacock that one day just showed up at my friend's home and has stuck around for 2 years. This male pheasant would just strutt around their property, fly up into their trees, take a seat on the roof of their home, make lots of noise at night, run away from the big Great Dane, Zoey,  and fan it's feathers when it would catch a glimpse of himself in a reflection from a car (although I didn't see this personally but just heard about it). I found myself fascinated by the fact that this bird just showed  up one day and never left. What is that? I couldn't get this song out of my
mind when thinking about this:
                       

             GOD SPEAKING by Mandeesa

 "Have you ever heard a love song that set your spirit free?
Have you ever watched a sunrise and felt you couldn't breathe?
What if it's Him? What if it's God speaking?

Have you ever cried a tear that you could not explain?
Have you ever met a stranger that already knew your name?
What if it'sHim? What if it's God speaking?

Who knows how he'll get a hold of us?
Get our attention to prove He is enough.
He'll do and He'll use whatever He wants to-
to tell us- I love you!

Have you ever lost a loved one who you thought should still be here?
Do you know what it feels like to be tangeled up in fear?
What if He's somehow involved?
What if He's speaking through it all?

Who knows how he'll get a hold of us?
Get our attention to prove He is enough.
He'll do and He'll use whatever He wants to-
to tell us- I love you!

His ways are higher.
His ways are better.
Though sometimes strange.
What could be stranger than God in a manger?

Who knows how He'll get a hold of you?
Get your attention to prove He is enough.
He'll do and He'll use whatever He wants to
To tell you, "I LOVE YOU"
GOD IS SPEAKING, "I LOVE YOU!"

MY  OWN ADDED VERSE:

Have you ever had a peacock just show up at your home?
Did that peacock stay around, even though it's free to roam?
What if it's Him? 
What if it's God speaking?

Why does that peacock have feathers with many, many "eyes?"
Why does it shed it's OLD ones and NEW ones arise?
What if it's Him?
What if it's God speaking?


I wonder how he'll try to whisper "I love you" to you  today? I wonder if you'll hear him? I hope so. Blessings from Bombadil. Kristy Joy Link
