The Cardinal

Today when I walked Chloe, I heard him singing.
The song they sing is close to one of the most beautiful things I hear out in nature.
I look up and in front of me I spot him on the very top of the neighbors tree, his vivid red set off against the lush green from all the rain we've had.
He sings, I continue to walk.
Walking I hear him again and I look up and in front of me I spot him on the very top of the baseball park tree, beautiful red cardinal.
He sings, I continue to walk.
Walking now towards the railroad tracks I again hear his song.  I look up and in front of me I spot him on the very top of the base ball field light.  Looking up at him I feel like he is looking at me singing his song even louder.  He flies to the next light and when he lands and starts his song, I stop.
I am wondering if there is more than one cardinal on my walk? Or, did this guy lead the way for me?
And I can help but think of Jesus our savior...
how he leads us in such beautiful ways,
if we will just stop,
stop long enough,
to listen to His voice,
in the still of the air as He gently sings in front of you and leads the way.
