With all these birds with crowns, maybe the Lord wants to remind us to think about these verses, and do what they say. Then we will have some crowns to cast at Jesus’ feet when we get to heaven.

I spent a couple of hours in the cold this week chasing around a fast flitting RC Kinglet hoping for a shot of its red crown. I failed. But is consolation that I have a crown (or two) waiting in heaven! William

Amen to that! The more the better to be able to lay at Jesus’ feet.

This post reminded me of the crown of thorns that Jesus wore so we can share a glorious crown at his return. Thanks for sharing the art of God’s creation, God bless.
