HI Ann, yes those doves are real. They were back today in the rain, sitting in a dry corner of the porch, watching it pour and cooing. I love having the bird feeder outside my office window to see them

A beckoning dove? One would think you invented this for its symbolism. When a dove says “come,” we should definitely get up and go!

Duane, I am blushing. Seriously I do love your writing too. Isn't it interesting we never think we can write as well as others. I am so guilty of always measuring myself and not making it when I look to others instead of only looking to God.

Glad we have met over the internet!

You know...

Two doves outside my window would annoy me.

But you?

You see God.

I want to be you when I grow up. :)

Phil I am so glad we have connected over the internet and certainly love your blog. Thanks for visiting.

Debbie, thank you for your kind words. I will hop over and visit your blog too. Fun to connect with other writers.

This is beautiful. I'm a great lover of words, and my favorites are poetic words. They really do quiet my soul when I read them. I used to wish that I had the gift of writing poetically like you do, but I finally decided that I get more enjoyment from the gift of others shared with me.

Just lovely.

Ah, the life-calling voice of our Lord being heralded in by the springtime! Lovely imagery Jean. :-)

Have a Blessed Day!

So glad you linked this, Jean. I read it yesterday and thought about suggesting the link-up…but didn’t want to be overtly bossy! 😉 Glad you did it without my bossing!

Thanks for stopping by Jen. Yes ‘wooing” and “cooing’ God calls us in many ways.

I love how He woos us, in whatever form might strike our fancy or get our attention. He is faithful.

I just know God is constantly calling us. I found it fascinating that I heard Him in the doves.

Thanks for visiting!

I love this. I just wrote a reflection about Jesus telling the first apostles – Come with me. I need to add this verse to my meditation this week. God bless!

I love the hopefulness and promise in these verses, Jean. Thanks for blessing me with the breath of spring today (even though it’s mighty cold and grey here in Nebraska today).
