For you Sis. Adding to Blues thought...
The Blessed Sparrows The blessed sparrows congregate in the Forsythia at my back door, chattering with enthusiasm and anticipation as I fill the feeder with wholesome wild seed. Cheeky, happy little birds flutter and prune themselves daring to fly and perch within just a few feet as I silently observe, grinning- gratefully amused by their charming and endearing antics. I noticed, around a week ago, a single small Black Bird among them- not like the others, but seemingly protected and adopted by the flock. They huddled around him and tended to his wide open beak with seed...feeding him as if a lost fledgling. As they fly from the feeder and hop to the Forsythia branches they surround him, keeping him warmly in the center of the flock... chattering and pruning themselves, they tenderly approach him with cheerful and gentle songs. In the beginning he was weak, but day by day, they have made the little orphaned Black Bird strong. Now, he feeds himself and associates in obvious joy and friendship, a permanent member of the Sparrow flock. I have witnessed Sparrows adopt several lone Parakeets in the same way over the many years. And it appears they are among the most tolerant and caring of all birds... Non-prejudicial in their behavior and outlook, Cheerfully sending a joyful, pure message for All who would comprehend, see and hear. |

His Eye Is on the Sparrow - by: Civilla D. Martin Music: Charles H. Gabriel
Why should I feel discouraged, Why should the shadows come, Why should my heart be lonely, And long for Heaven and home, When Jesus is my portion? My constant friend is He: His eye is on the sparrow, And I know He watches me; His eye is on the sparrow, And I know He watches me. I sing because I'm happy, I sing because I'm free, For His eye is on the sparrow, And I know He watches me. "Let not your heart be troubled," His tender word I hear, And resting on His goodness, I lose my doubts and fears; Tho' by the path He leadeth But one step I may see: His eye is on the sparrow, And I know He watches me; His eye is on the sparrow, And I know He watches me. I sing because I'm happy, I sing because I'm free, For His eye is on the sparrow, And I know He watches me. Whenever I am tempted, Whenever clouds arise, When songs give place to sighing, When hope within me dies, I draw the closer to Him, From care He sets me free; His eye is on the sparrow, And I know He watches me; His eye is on the sparrow, And I know He watches me. I sing because I'm happy, I sing because I'm free, For His eye is on the sparrow, And I know He watches me. >>> Love you Sis !
