MOORHEN // GALLINULA CHLORPUS (32-35cm)

            WETLAND BIRD, widespread and familiar, swims with jerky movements and constantly flicks its tail. Looks rather labored in flight, with its legs dangling. Moorhens are usually rather wary and disappear into cover when alarmed, and by contrast this one is a regular visitor to our garden, and quite tame, it comes from a pond over the road the size of a football pitch.

LORD JESUS CHRIST, I am sorry for the things  I have done wrong in my life, please forgive me. I now turn from everything that I know is wrong. Thank you that you died on the cross for me so that I could be forgiven and set free. Thank you that you offer me forgiveness and the gift of your spirit. I now receive that gift. Please come into my life by your Holy Spirit to be with me forever. Thank you, Lord Jesus.......
                     ....................AMEN.
