Bird nests are so clever, it makes you wonder how our feathered friends actually get started. Patiently collecting and arranging twigs, leaves and other material to build a warm, secure home. \u00a0It reminds me of mums everywhere working hard to make family traditions and building a warm and loving home for their little ones. \u00a0But at this moment, my heart goes out to the mums of the 270 Nigerian schoolgirls who were kidnapped a month ago, forced from the safety of their nest. \u00a0It makes me sick to think of it, please join me in praying for their safe return home.<\/p>\n
