now that it is almost October
I decided to finally take down the spring wreath
hanging on my porch wall
and put up a more seasonal fall one
to my surprise
I found a nest had been carefully built into the top of the wreath
this wreath that is very colorful
but absolutely false
plastic
and fake
and it reminded me how discerning we must be
about the place where we give birth
to the things of the Spirit
things can look real
smell real
feel real
and yet be totally false
scripture warns us about casting our pearls .............
if the babe in your womb
does not leap
when you are with the people who surround you
you are surrounded
by the wrong people
