Spring is in the air. 

I woke this morning to the early sound of a robin singing a song just outside my window. It was carefree. The Robin didn’t know that the day was going to be long. It wasn’t concerned about what it would eat, or what it would wear. It just sang. A happy song of joy chirped into the early morning light.

When I first heard it, I was annoyed. I mean, the sun wasn’t even fully up yet. 

But as I sat there listening, you could tell the carefree spirit of the bird. 

I thought, what a life! 

Not worrying about meetings of the day. 

Not stressed over it’s studies, or grades. 

Not overwhelmed by relationships 

Just up early, singing and enjoying life. 

Wouldn’t it be nice to wake up this way. 

To wake up and not think about everything that was going to need your attention today. To not stress the pressures of success, finance, other people’s opinion. Wouldn’t life be much easier to escape those pressures! 

Jesus thinks so too.
