As His precious sparrows,
we’re helpless little things
barely are we able
to spread our tiny wings.
The wind and the rain,
so often slows us down
when stuck in a storm at sea
it feels like we’re gonna drown.
In our flight, we try to find,
a place to call a safe harbor
where we can find some comfort
from the pains of our labor.
Cold and hungry we flutter,
long into the stormy night
in the darkness, we try to find
the power to continue in our flight.
We so desperately need,
to find the peace that we seek
for our weary minds
have made us frail and weak.
Into His light we soar,
when our travels come to an end
where with our Lord and Savior
in eternity we will spend.
As His precious sparrows,
we’re helpless little things
but all through our journey . . .
He’s been the strength in our wings.

Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.”

I love calling my self His sparrow . . . if I fail at something I just tell people I am still learning to fly on that faith issue, or if I’am soaring in another I can say Jesus has given me His strength. ~ God Bless you ~

I love being His sparrow. It makes me feel so small and Him so big making it all so more apparent how much I need Him. ~ Blessings ~

Been sitting by my window… the birds are gathered at the feeder as the sun has just come up … meditated on His provisions for us and how He sees even them … then came here to find this … you blessed me, sister!

Been siting by my window all morning watching it SNOW! Praying that this sparrow will soon see the warm sun too. Maybe I should just come spend the day with you instead 🙂 Enjoy your warm perch little sparrow! ~ Blessings ~

Here too, but now the sun is coming out and the thunder is rumbling around as I look outside I see these tiny little birds at my feeder eating the seeds that I put out earlier this week. Reminds me of how the Lord takes care of our needs through others.
