Owl

The sky is dark, the rain in on the way, my flowers are growing taller in the cool breeze. It's a gloomy day. After coming back from lunch, we saw a student bending over a little animal (in the building), and we ran over to see what had happened. A little owl had flown into the building and was sprawled out on the floor with his eyes closed. Who knows how he got in there, but he was definitely out of it. His eyes were closed, and he let us stroke his back while we "Kwenchanayo"ed him. "It's ok, little bird..." We scooped him up and took him outside. He got up enough strength to stand on our fingers, and he watched us watching him. He had beautiful yellow saucer eyes. Before we knew it, he flew away. He'd only hurt one toe, but it was enough to tame him for a while.

I love how when we do something to cause sin in our lives, even if it is small, we often stumble and fall down. We are caught in our own sin, at least for the time being. But God scoops us back up, looks at us with pity, and "Kwenchanayo"s us to get back up.

Proverbs 24:16-The godly may trip seven times, but they will get up again. But one disaster is enough to overthrow the wicked.
