I began to read about birds and the great pains they take to build homes for their families. One single nest of a hooded oriole was found to contain 3,387 separate pieces of material. It is not a priority that is given second place or avoided. It takes first place. Since watching the birds in my yard, I have wondered who taught these birds what to do.
Birds follow instincts to provide, protect, and nurture.
We are also blessed with God-given instincts. We instinctively want so much for those we love, and yet being human, we encounter many more problems than the birds I observed. In today's society there are many who challenge the importance of the traditional home and family. Some think there are other uses of a woman's time and talents that are more important than the family. But prophets have been relentless in declaring that the role of homemaker is one of the most sacred and meaningful pursuits possible to man or woman.
