The hermit thrush (Catharus guttatus) is a medium-size thrush belonging to the same bird family as the American robin. Its habitat ranges from summer breeding grounds in southern Alaska, much of Canada and the inland western United States to its wintering areas along the Pacific Coast and in the southern U.S., Mexico and Central America.
The song of the hermit thrush has been described as one of the finest sounds in nature. Here is a video clip of the beautiful song of this bird which appears to support this probability :: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9vHS6JdHog
(Pictured) This hermit thrush flew into a window with a startling thud and fell. Stunned and with its feathers ruffled, it recuperated quickly and flew off, continuing on its journey.
Its amazing comeback reminds me of the following illustration :: when life's circumstances overwhelm with stress, doubt and fear, we can rise above and be victorious by placing honest, childlike trust in God, knowing He will care for us like this beautiful songbird.
The "hows" and "whys" of life may not be clear to us now -- but when we grow in placing our trust in the Heavenly Father day by day, He will lovingly see to it everything works out for our good.
"For a righteous man may fall seven times
And rise again,
But the wicked shall fall by calamity."
Proverbs 24:16, NKJV
