"A clean heart create for me, God; renew in me a steadfast spirit."
(Psalm 51:12)
Cardinals In Snow

According to an old legend, the brilliant red feathers
of the beautiful cardinal were once
an unextraordinary dull brown color.
When he came upon the scene of the crucified Jesus
his tiny heart became heavy
his tiny heart became heavy
with deep sorrow and compassion.
He alighted upon a nearby tree branch
and began to sing,
expressing the deeply felt sorrow
in his heart.
A drop of the Savior's precious blood
fell upon the sad little bird.
His dull brown feathers were
transformed to a beautiful scarlet red,
which perfectly matched the tiny
crown of glory
rising from his head.
