Blessings from Our Heavenly Father



. . . But not a single sparrow can fall to the ground without your Father knowing it.
And the very hairs on your head are all numbered.”
Matthew 10:29-30

On a recent spring morning, an unexpected bird enjoyed breakfast at our bird feeder. He had landed off-course and off-schedule. My handy bird book called him a red-naped sapsucker. He belongs in Eastern Oregon in the summer, not in our Willamette Valley during springtime. This unusual sighting registered only as a small event in my life, but I called it a little blessing from the Lord that day. Eager to share the bird with my husband, I helped him find his Navy binoculars to get a closer look and verify my sighting.
Jesus called his disciples more valuable to God than a flock of sparrows. Our heavenly Father positively cares about us as well. A little incident or a major event happens under His watchful eye and care. The psalmist David believed God planned every day of his life before he was born. (Psalm 139:16)
Father, we give you praise today for our big and not so big blessings. Thank you for your never ending love.
