A Mother's Love

I recently saw a couple of videos that show a mother's (and father's also in the first one) love. I think it is so awesome how God can illustrate what love is in all of His creatures. If you have a few minutes (maybe 5 total), take a looksee. The first one made by a family that documented a robin's nest that was built in a planter hanging in their porch. This little video brings up so many feelings in me! What strikes me most about this video are: 1) How steadfast the mother robin is as far as keeping her beautiful blue eggs warm. 2) How the mama and daddy robin are so faithful at bringing food to their little chicks. 3) I also observe how attuned the chicks are to their parents movements. As soon as one of them comes with food, they pop right up with their mouth gaping for food. "Feed me! Feed me!" 4) And of course the last frames of the video. The natural progression on chicks growing up and leaving the nest.

The second one is called "How to Stop Nightmares." I found this linked to another blog that I read, but it has actually been on reddit and has gone viral. I am not much of a cat person, but this is very sweet and touching. It reminds me of being able to comfort and soothe my babies as they sleep next to me. My kids all loved both of these videos. They even enacted the robins wanting food, and the baby kitten having a nightmare.
