After several days of sleepless nights, I was dead tired last night and crashed hard. As a result, this morning I seem to have unconsciously turned off my alarm. Thirty minutes after the alarm should have awakened me, I heard this insanely loud, piercing, screeching noise. As I laid there slowly waking into consciousness, I thought there must be a bird or some animal in massive distress somewhere, possibly in my room.
I rolled over and noticed the clock - for the first time ever I had missed my alarm and had only 5 minutes to leave if I wanted to be on-time for work. I sat up and spotted the shrieking bird on my window sill. As I got out of bed, its very loud morning song stopped - his job was done and he was gone within the moment.
I thought, “Wow, thank you Father God for sending a living cuckoo clock to rouse me out of that deep sleep just so I wouldn’t be late.” I’m so thankful that He watches over me even in the smallest moments. ❤️
