Common Merganser

While driving around with my husband after getting my military ID renew we went by the pond in an industrial park. Low and behold there was a bird I had not seen before. It was a common merganser. Of course I can't imagine what is so common about him.

I tried really hard to get a good picture but he would not cooperate with me. Each time I would head to the side of the pond he was at he would just swim to the other side. We played this game for a little while and then he flew away. But that is okay. It was cool watching him.

I enjoy the blessings that God gives freely to me each day. I do not have to earn it. That is what makes these blessings more valuable. God's love for me is not based on my performance. He just loves me. I am thankful for that. It helps me to face tomorrow and what life has in-store for me. Hopefully more blessings of mergansers.
