"Come sit over here where the wind doesn't blow so hard," said Lindy. "I asked God to take care of me. He will take care of you, too! I have faith!" "What is 'faith'?" asked Janny. "Faith is knowing God is here. It sort of feels like a cozy, warm hug. God hears me talking to him. I used to be afraid, a lot! But my mom told me about God, that He would always stay with me and listen to me." Janny settled on the branch, squeezing it tightly with her toes, while Lindy used her beak to help smooth and dry Janny's feathers. They snuggled next to the rough bark of the tree trunk until the threatening swoosh of the wind and loud pounding rain quieted.
