My daughter, who is thirteen drew this warbler and penned these words. "Recently I had been thinking that all (but the Yellow-rumped Warblers that grab flies off the cabin) had gone south. Not so! God always sends surprises waiting out the back door. My mom and I met a tiny warbler in the garden this afternoon. A few minutes later, we spotted it again in an elderberry bush, eating what few ripe berries were left. It was such a tiny, delicate bird with a very olive back, and a faint eye stripe. Protected from above by foliage, and to the side by the low wire fence that the bush had outgrown, she was very relaxed, feeling not afraid, trusting solely in her Creator. We can do the same. That little female Tennessee Warbler was a perfect example for others to feel the same as I do, that no matter what happens, God is in control, and in the long end, all is for our good and the good of other's. Place your trust in God, feel comforted, unafraid, satisfied just like the itty-bitty bird."
