Dear Sentinel

with contributions from Tad Turpen, Toni Turpen

One day when my mom and I had finished homeschooling for the day, my mom looked outside and saw two hummingbirds. They had hit our window and fallen to the ground. We went outside and picked up both of the birds. My mom and I prayed for them. We knew that the true being of the birds was spiritual and perfect. My mom said that all God's creatures are His perfect ideas and are indestructible. I knew the little hummingbirds needed to fly home. Within a few minutes, both birds flew away, free! This was a good lesson that all creatures "great and small" are governed by God.

From Tad's Mom:

Tad instantly expressed a tremendous amount of love for these little birds and was able to see quickly how a correct view of God's ideas was helpful. When one of the two birds momentarily came back to Tad after it had flown off, he continued to urge it to be free.
