Yesterday morning while sitting in my kitchen with sunshine streaming in I heard a familiar sound but one I haven’t heard in our neighborhood – a cuckoo outside. I had always dreamed that someday after visiting Germany I would buy a cuckoo clock for my home. Isn't that where the original cuckoo clock comes from?
Well, this little bird just kept up with his cu-koo-ing for several minutes so much so that it reached a level of annoyance. How long would it continue? The sound even woke up Emily wondering what the noise was. lol
I still want a cuckoo clock someday because I know that it won’t be as loud and lingering and has a limited number of coos per hour.
The sad thing is that he wasn’t heard again this morning. Maybe he has traveled on and was only visiting Rusanivka on that one sunny Thursday morn. I am glad that I heard him and I can still listen to the little "peeps" of the sparrows and coos of the pigeon that live outside my windows.
God does not call us to ministry and abandons us. He is there to support us. We must trust that He will accomplish what we cannot on our own.

Growing up, we had an authentic cuckoo clock from when mom lived in Germany. I used to just sit and wait for the the bird to come out and tell me the time. I wonder what happened to that thing...
I love reading your posts. They make me smile!
