Many of my friends have sent me the photos of the Swallow that was hit by a car and then how her mate reacted. I found this YouTube by kirchiman1000 of that email and decided to post it. It shows the feelings and concern that birds have for each other.

The post of Skippy’s birthday a few days ago also shows how the death of their mate affects them. When the Lord created the creatures, he put the ability to love in them. We should learn from them.

But ask the beasts, and they will teach you; the birds of the heavens, and they will tell you; (Job 12:7 ESV)

As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love. These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends… These things I command you, that ye love one another. (John 15:9-13, 17  KJV)

He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. (1 John 4:8 KJV)
