Yesterday I was blessed by a beautiful fall day, a pleasant lunch on a patio and the company of new friends. The temperature was perfect and after we finished our meal and sat around talking, the sparrows and finches would land near us and chirp while they waited for our crumbs. It did much to cheer my spirits after some frustrating news regarding my housing situation and I was able to relax and enjoy the fellowship.
Today I flipped through a magazine at lunch and came to an article that referenced Luke 12:22-32. I could not read past the reference. I had to look it up. Verse 27-31 really jumped out at me. I backtracked and read the entire chapter and verse 6 also grabbed my attention. I was able to feel more at peace and focus on my work.
Tonight I realized, on another level, the depth of God's love for me. If He cares so much for sparrows, like the ones I saw at lunch yesterday, and I am more important, how many good things are ahead for me? And my job, as a "lilly" (see v. 27) is to grow in this stage of my life, regardless of what is going on around me that I can't control.
O (me) of little faith!!
And then the video below, forwarded to me from a friend.
