Several days ago I was sitting outside...there appeared on the ground close to me, a golden crowned sparrow. He looked so still...not eating...just sitting on the ground. I watched him for awhile, then he started to hop about, but only on one leg...he drug his other leg behind him. But there He was in his breeding plumage-I don't believe he knew that he was different than the other birds. Then just yesterday...he flew in to sit on the wire where the bird feeders hang...he hung on just fine with only ONE leg. I found him quite beautiful with his flashy yellow strip of feathers on his head - he looked plump and well fed~It gave me great hope to see this small fellow...and it made me think of the word...
Perseverance:
...to persist in anything undertaken; maintain a purpose in spite of difficulty, obstacles, or discouragement; continue steadfastly.
