					<description><![CDATA[Not that I was ever in need, for I have learned how to be content with whatever I have. I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little. For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength. &#8211; Philippians 4:11-13 NLT Wild turkeys, like the four pictured above, actively consume a large variety of food during their lifetimes. Their diet changes with the seasons, and they tend to forage on whatever is available. &#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[For by Him all things were created in heaven and on earth, [things] visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities; all things were created and exist through Him [that is, by His activity] and for Him. And He Himself existed and is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. [His is the controlling, cohesive force of the universe.] &#8211; Colossians 1:16-17 AMP My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. He will not let your foot slip&#8211;he who watches over you will not slumber; &#8211; Psalm 121:2-3 NIV As &#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty. This I declare about the LORD: He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I trust him. For he will rescue you from every trap and protect you from deadly disease. He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection. &#8211; Psalm 91:4 NLT Many critters in the wild have a built-in desire to protect their offspring, at least until the little &#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Now we see things imperfectly, like puzzling reflections in a mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely. – 1 Corinthians 13:12 NLT Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, while we do not look at &#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[O LORD, what a variety of things you have made! In wisdom you have made them all. The earth is full of your creatures. Psalm 104:24 NLT &#8220;So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. If a son asks for bread from any father among you, will he give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him &#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[But those who wait on the LORD Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint. &#8211; Isaiah 40:29, 31 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up. &#8211; James 4:10 As noted in a recent post, I’ve had the privilege of taking long walks along a cold stream where life in the mountains was transitioning from fall to winter. Numerous salmon were completing their lifecycle by spawning – and dying – in the river and feeder streams. &#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[A song of ascents. Of David. How good and pleasant it is when God&#8217;s people live together in unity! It is like precious oil poured on the head, running down on the beard, running down on Aaron&#8217;s beard, down on the collar of his robe. It is as if the dew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion. For there the LORD bestows his blessing, even life forevermore. Psalm 133:1-3 NIV There are different theories as to why some birds fly in unison – holding tight formations – moving as a single, synchronized unit. If you’ve ever seen this behavior, &#8230;]]></description>

How often I have wanted to gather your children together as a hen protects her chicks beneath her wings, but you wouldn&#8217;t let me. Luke 13:34 NLT Robins are widespread across the U.S., and their song is one of the first you’ll hear at the breaking of the day during the summer months. They are in the Thrush family, and their diet consists largely of fruit, insects, and &#8230;]]></description>

Psalm 119:62 Oh, that men would give thanks to the LORD for His goodness, And for His wonderful works to the children of men! For He satisfies the longing soul, And fills the hungry soul with goodness.&#160; Psalm 107:8-9 in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.&#160; 1 Thessalonians 5:18 As best I can tell without hiring a lawyer to interpret the hunting regs, it is now open season for wild turkeys in my neck of the &#8230;]]></description>
