\nWhile up at our Hyde Park clubhouse on Wednesday, I kept hearing a bird banging into the windows, over and over again. On Thursday, one of my friends sent this text to me: \u201cDrama at the clubhouse today — a female bird keeps flying into the window from the maple tree — male just moving from fence to branches watching her — she must feel the mating dance is a fate worse than death. I’m sure she sees her reflection. It would be laughable except that she will likely succeed in breaking her neck.\u201d LOL!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\nI was up at the clubhouse again yesterday and I captured this looney bird in action with this photo. She is definitely a “head banger”! Maybe that’s where “bird brain” came from. LOL! Of course, this would be my inspiration for today\u2019s blog. We\u2019ve all been there. We\u2019ve tried to accomplish something and so many interferences kept us from it. We\u2019ve tried to teach our child a skill and it seemed hopeless. We\u2019ve tried to lose weight only to gain more than we lost. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\nAs I type this post, I’m up at the clubhouse and that crazee bird continues to bang into the windows, but she will not break through that barrier no matter how hard she tries. I\u2019m watching her and she\u2019ll bang into it, and then fall to the ground, but she recovers and goes at it again.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\nAlbert Einstein is credited with this quote, \u201cInsanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.\u201d I would highly suggest this bird AND those of us who keep riding a “dead horse” fall into that category. It’s time to dismount and get a fresh new horse and a fresh new idea….that comes from “in all our ways, acknowledging our ALL-KNOWING Father God. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\nWe will continue to bang our heads against a brick wall or a glass window as long as we are deceived into thinking \u201cIt\u2019s my way or the highway\u201d, I can make this happen, I am invincible and when all along, God has the open door and window for us to step through. He wants us to \u201clet go and let Him\u201d be our source of wisdom, knowledge and strength.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\nProverbs 3:5,6 \u201cTrust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not to your own understanding. In ALL YOUR WAYS, acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths\u201d. My interpretation \u201cAnd He will keep you from banging your head against the brick walls and the glass windows. God knows the way in, through, over and under to the answers we need. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
