... sparrows....

There were sparrows to be seen and heard
everywhere, on our walk today.
When I see sparrows,
I always remember what is said about them in the Bible...
Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings,
and not one of them is forgotten before God?
Luke 12:6
I cannot look at a sparrow
without this knowing:
that God is present in this very moment
in this sparrow's existence!
But even the very hairs of your head
are all numbered.
Fear not therefore:
ye are of more value than many sparrows.
Luke 12:7
...and so, in my existence, as well!
To know this... that God is present
in this very moment
in my existence...
how beautiful, how amazing,
how changed I feel
in the moment that I perceive this!
