Tiny Sparrows

Matthew 10:29-31

29Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father. 30And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31So don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

Way back when - when we lived in SC, I began collecting birdhouses. Several weeks ago, I cleared out some of the houses, and put two of my favorites on the top shelf of the baker's rack on our screened porch. On Friday I left the screen door propped open so that Walker (cutest little Yorkie you have ever seen, named of course after George Walker Bush) could get in and out. Friday evening when we were outside grilling David noticed that there were two little birds inside the the screen. After getting them out - they came back in - went out - came back in. We started watching what they were doing - these little birds were going in and out of one of the birdhouses making a nest!!! We have watched them all weekend, and the birdhouse is almost full of nesting. Now, we are leaving the door open for our little bird friends. This has just been amazing - how did they even find their way onto our porch, how did they find this little birdhouse, how do they know to keep on coming back? If God can take care of these little birds, find them a place to live, give them such a sense of direction that they can come back day after day to complete their task - why would we ever doubt that He can take care of our needs?? This has been God's message to us, a reminder of what He can do in even the simplest of situations.
