How often have we heard that little phrase and really not payed particular attention to its meaning.

I was thorughly blessed by my heavenly Father this morning. I went out to feed the birds and as I was exciting the house I saw a little sparrow on my bottom step that appeared to be hurt.I suppose this will seem strange to most but I started talking to the bird asking if he was hurt etc. I stopped for a fer seconds (to smell the roses) so to speak. I felt impressed to pray for this little sparrow. I put two of my fingers on it`s head I asked that it be healed in Jesus name.Healthy wild birds do not allow this to happen I went on to the feeder and fed the other birds and as I was comeing back into the house this little bird raised it`s head looked at me a flew into the tree.

Luke 12:6 says Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God? God had not forgotten this little bird. As I started out the day today My prayer was that I would be able to minister God`s love and mercy today to at least one person. Little did I know that God would bless and encourage me in this little birds plight.

If God will heal a little sparrow how could I ever doubt He will heal me.

God is so faithful.

Be blessed in Jesus name.
