familiar....
defined as "well known from long or close association"
I have not seen or heard him in weeks, possibly more than a month now
But I know him when I hear him
His boisterous high pitched tweet resonates
I look for even a splash of his bright red, plumage
He amazes me
He reminds me of how we can and should hear our King
Spending enough time, quieting ourselves, looking and listening
His voice can carry above all others, but only if time has been spent
A wife who hears her husband chuckle, knows what's behind his laugh
A mother knows her baby
STOP
John 10:27 "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow me." (NASB)

Leigh, you reminded me of a time when I was teaching a sophomore-level class in engineering, and as I was trying to be particularly profound, a bird flew past the window, and I shouted, "Ooh, look, a CARDINAL!"

The spending enough time and quieting myself is hard for me. The long list of things that I must do seems so loud in my head. Thank you for this reminder.
