Phoenix City Fengming: Birds and Grapes Two years ago, a grape vine was planted in my backyard. My husband enthusiastically built a beautiful, strong and strong grape trellis, waiting for the harvest of grapes in the fall. Disappointingly, there was a small bunch of grapes the first year but no fruit. A bunch of grapes also grew in the second year, but they did not bear fruit, so my hope was somewhat slim. This spring, I suddenly discovered that there were bunches of small yellow flower buds like millet hanging on the grape branches. After a while, the yellow flower buds exploded and turned into bunches of small yellow flowers. I have never seen what grapes bloom like in such a long time. This time I recorded and witnessed the whole process and took photos as a souvenir, just waiting for the grape harvest in autumn. When friends come to visit, my husband proudly shows them the fruit trees in his backyard. Half a month ago, a friend's family came to visit and they talked about the fruit trees in their backyards. A friend's house also had a grape tree that produced a lot of grapes, but the grapes attracted many birds and ate all the grapes that had just turned red. The hostess of his house covered it with a plastic bag to prevent the birds from eating it. What happened to their grapes reminds us. The next morning, when I opened the backyard door, I could hear the cheerful chirping of birds. I hurriedly walked around the grape trellis and took a look. I saw that several of my lovely bunches of grapes, especially the grapes hanging at the bottom, had been attacked by small flying birds. Only a thin layer of skin was left on the small red grapes, and the sweet grape juice became the birds' breakfast. In order to ensure the safe growth of our own grapes, my husband and I discussed ways together. The only way to prevent birds from pecking the grapes is to cover the entire grape trellis with nylon netting, which is a big project. After deciding on the method, just do it and take action immediately. Find out the old nylon net that was used to net the jujube trees last year, cover it from top to bottom, and connect the gaps with threads to ensure that birds cannot get into the net. After feeling that everything is safe, go back to the room and observe everything going on through the glass window. After a while, several birds hit the net from different directions. After hitting the net, they fluttered and flew up. They turned around and then hit the net again. They were blocked by the nylon net. After several back and forth, they could not fly into the net. They stood on the wall and looked at the grape trellis, and kept chirping. Suddenly I saw a little bird, which got into the net from nowhere. It was bumping around in the net but couldn't fly out, and couldn't care about pecking the grapes. I immediately went to the backyard to take a look. At this moment, I saw the little bird fly out from the gap in the net on the south side. We climbed up the ladder to check carefully and found that there was a place that was not sewn properly. , let the birds take advantage of the loophole, and then carefully sewed the southern seam again. After doing this, the birds tried to break into the nylon net several times but failed. From then on, the birds seemed to be able to pass on the message, and no birds visited the grape trellis again. One morning's contest between humans and birds ended with humans defeating birds. Our grapes are saved! There is a song that goes like this: The flowers in the field are dressed in beautiful clothes. The birds in the sky are never busy with life. The loving Heavenly Father takes care of them every day. He loves the people in the world even more and prepares the way to eternal life for them. Heavenly Father knows all your needs. If you have troubles in your heart, let Him remove them for you. Our loving Heavenly Father takes care of you every day. He is the Almighty Lord. Those who trust Him are truly blessed. Both humans and all other animals and plants were created by God, who created the universe. The powerful, glorious, and almighty God has prepared everything for the world. The priceless and precious salvation of the cross has also been prepared for the world. "If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For if you believe with your heart you will be justified, and if you confess with your mouth you will be saved. The Bible says, 'Whoever believes in him will not be ashamed.'" (Romans 10:9-11) You now know that Jesus Christ died for you so that you can trust him for eternal life. Are you willing to invite him into your heart now to be your personal savior?
