The flowers appear on the earth; the time
of the singing of birds is come,
and the voice of the turtle is heard in
our land
Song of Solomon 2:12 |
Since we have heard about how the Raven helped Elijah,
we are now going to see what we can learn from birds.
While this series appears to be geared towards getting
our little children involved,
there will be plenty for us adults to learn from these
birds, too.

1:17 - Surely in vain the net is spread
in the sight of any bird.
-
additional thoughts on the net...
-
Parents/others disguise the net
-
Parents/others lay the net

Some kids see the temptation, not the net - parents say no, they go in
anyway!

justify it somehow - blame others later - bad childhood - doctrine from
pastors, etc.
-
Family or person goes in and lures another one in!
-
Can't get out? So, you try to get others in with you!
-
Meet a lot of friends in the net - you either don't want to get out, or
you can't do without your friends, so you stay in!
