\n
It is said that two kinds of birds fly over the California deserts: the hummingbird and the vulture. All the vulture can see is rotting meat, because that is all he looks for. He thrives on that diet. But the hummingbird ignores the carcasses and the smelly flesh of dead animals. Instead, he looks for the tiny blossoms of the cactus flowers. He buzzes around until he find the colorful blooms almost hidden from view by the rocks. Each bird finds what it is looking for.<\/p>\n
What are you looking for? Better still, what are you finding? What you are finding tells what you are really looking for. Your expectations of life will determine your outcome. If you come to church looking for a blessing, you will find one. If you come to church looking for a fault or an excuse for staying home the next time, you will find that also.<\/p>\n
When you leave church with the great expectation and desire to worship and serve God during the week, you will find what you are looking for.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
