The title of the movie is "Food Inc." If you haven't watched I would highly <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">recommend</span> it. The only bad part about this movie is that it will make you never want to eat again! I am not kidding! I knew there was bad stuff in our food but I didn't know it was this bad! Our animals aren't getting to live how they are suppose to live.

First off, I have the greatest daddy in the whole world. </span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">I typically ask myself, "What does Daddy mean to me?" So today w</span>hy don't you tell him how special he is to you! I know it's hard! I don't think I have ever told my daddy how much I love him and how much he means to me. I don't think I could ever put it all down but I wish I could!</div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">If you don't have an earthly daddy there is a heavenly Father who is waiting on you; even if you have a daddy He still wants to be your Father! Today I think we should remember Him too! You can ask yourself the same questions that you asked yourself about your daddy- What does He mean to me? Why don't you spend a couple of minutes with Him. Now I know it might sound a bit crazy that God could be just as loving as your daddy here on earth but it's true!</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">I thought it would be interesting to list some of the similarities between an earthly daddy and our heavenly Father!</span></div><div><ul><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Just like our earthly daddies, He is the head - </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Ephesians 5:23 </span></i></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:'Charis SIL', charis, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior.</span></i></span></li><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"> We are His children just like we are our daddy's (parents)!- </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">1 John 3:1 </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:'Charis SIL', charis, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, </span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">that we should be called children of God!</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"> And that is what we are!

We left the nest because it was on a </span><span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">wreath</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"> and it looked pretty and now we are paying for that decision because we have Carolina Wrens in our garage again, which my mother did not want to happen (too much stress). This year instead of two eggs we have FIVE one of which was a little larger than the others and was blue not white with red spots! I thought that it was a little strange that she would lay a different looking egg so I researched it! It was not a Carolina Wren it was a Brown Headed Cowbird egg! It seems that Brown Headed Cowbirds come and infest other birds nests! I then learned that there was a 31percent chance that the wren babies might not make it because the Cowbird has a shorter </span><span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">incubation</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"> period than the wrens, so by the time the wrens hatched the Cowbird would be a lot bigger and would suffocate the Wrens! We then had to decide whether or not we were going to let the Cowbird egg live. We decided to leave it in God's hands and see what He decides to do! This morning two of the five babies hatched! They were both wren babies! I learned a lot more about Cowbirds and Wrens when I researched it but I will leave it to you to find out more if you are interested!</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Here are some pictures of them I took!</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtOEDdY-a0kJUYJqfVgsxKYhCu5TrtONaISbgDeamT_6v4HthiwwzQ9Hck15VAtqH7HQhBZBC9Ues0mm2DdDnDJ9SWGwE0iKWvvBWMq04ikSVvifJc5DetaqzkuUqldHPl91_2kayOrDT5/s320/P1000786.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480798547673479314" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px; " /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">This is the momma wren from last year!

I don't believe this means create lies just to build each other up. This would create false encouragement. There are times when you may be faced with a situation where what you say could depend on hurting anothers feelings or encouraging them. Remember it is okay to keep your thoughts to yourself. I don't want to argue about when it is right to lie and when it isn't because this would be a long post and it might get <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">confusing</span>! <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">LOL</span>! I think we should take a little time to think about it. If you want to discuss this topic, talk to your parents and pray to our Heavenly Father for guidence!
