Birds persist in rebuilding their nests even after facing adversity such as weather destroying the nest or humans interfering. The passage encourages the reader to similarly persist through challenges in life, not giving up when goals are not immediately achieved or life does not go as planned. It advises praying for hope and rebuilding when faced with setbacks, rather than worrying, in order to keep moving forward and never stop singing.

2. Have you ever obs erved the behaviour of
birds in the face of advers ity?

3. For days and days they make their nes ts , s ometimes
gathering materials brought from far away

4. A nd when they have completed the nes t and are ready to
lay eggs , the weather, or the work of humans , or s ome
animal, des troys it, and it falls to the ground, all that they
have done with s o much effort

5. Do they s top ?
B ewildered,
and leave the
work ?

6. No way. They s tart over building the nes t again and again
until they have eggs in the nes t again.

7. S ometimes ,and very often before the chicks are are hatched,
an animal, a child, or a s torm des troys the nes t once again,
but this time with its valuable contents .

8. It hurts to go back to begin again… E ven s o, the birds do not
ever s top, they continue to s ing and build, and keep s inging
and building…..

9. Do you s ometimes get the feeling that your life, your
work, your family is not what you had dreamed. Do you
s ometimes want to s ay “ enough” , the effort is not
worthwhile. It is all too much for me!

10. A re you tired of it all? Do you feel that the daily s truggle is a
was te of time, your trus t has been betrayed, your goals not
reac hed jus t as you were about to get them?

11. Life s trikes you down s ometimes , but do you go on, s ay a
prayer, put your faith in hope, not darknes s ? Do not worry
if you get injured in the battle, that is to be expected. Gather
yours elf together and rebuild your life,
s o that it runs well again.

12. No matter what happens … Do not s hrink back, but move
forward. Life is a c ons tant challenge, but it is worthwhile
to mos tly accept it. A nd never s top s inging.

13. Do not keep this to yourself….
