here are some photos of magpies being loved.
love shown by self care, from a magpie who decided to treat itself with a rather large nut (not at its expense, but just a small snack to reward itself)
love shown by presence and patience, from its friend (a human, who took their time to appreciate this magpie)
love shown by playfulness and curiosity, from another magpie, who it likely met by chance.
please remember that you are loved, and the only way to truly feel loved is to let yourself be loved by others and yourself.
essentially - you should always love yourself, even if you feel that others do not. there will always be someone who loves you.

You Are Never Alone:
Finding Comfort in God's Presence
Hey everyone, I wanted to share something close to my heart that I hope encourages you today. Have you ever felt like you're all alone, even in a crowded room? It's a common feeling, but I want to remind you that in Christ, you are never truly alone.
The Bible is filled with promises that assure us of God's constant presence, especially in our times of solitude or struggle. Let these words sink deep into your soul:
Deuteronomy 31:6 (KJV): "Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee."
Matthew 28:20 (KJV): "Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen."
Psalm 23:4 (KJV): "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me."
Joshua 1:9 (KJV): "Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest."
Isaiah 41:10 (KJV): "Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness."
Hebrews 13:5 (KJV): "Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee."
John 14:18 (KJV): "I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you."
Isn't it incredible to know that the God of the universe promises to never leave nor forsake us? When we feel alone, we can turn to Him and find solace.
Questions:
How does knowing that God is always with you change the way you face challenges?
In what ways can you experience God's presence more in your daily life?
Remember, dear friends, that God's presence is not just a concept; it's a reality that we can experience each day.
Your Personal Prayer:
Father God, I thank You for Your promise to never leave me alone. Help me to feel Your presence more deeply in my life, especially during times of loneliness or uncertainty. Teach me to trust in You completely. In Jesus' name, amen.
