His eye is on the sparrow

We have so many birds around us. We live on a boat in a beautiful marina. From the first glimpse of sunshine in the morning until the sunset we hear and see many birds, ducks, swans, geese,..Their lives are so close to ours. We look through the windows of the boat and they are there - looking for food, just passing by,.. They are all absolutely stunning to look at. The King Fisher appears occasionally and the catches the light on his extraordinary colours glittering in the sunshine.

It is spring, so many babies will appear soon. I love looking at a coots family opposite us. They’ve been working so hard for many weeks in making their nest. Finally the baby coots have arrived it’s three of them. Absolutely adorable. The parents take their job as parents very seriously. The mother stays with them in the nest for the first few days, while the father is on a hunt for bits of food to bring to them. Now, I could stay and watch and LEARN from these creatures all day long. All of them are very unique.

There is an old song that came to my mind these days: His eye is on the sparrow..

Now, if God looks after all these beautiful birds and helps them day by day with their little lives, how much more would He care for us...His eye is on us as well...we just need to learn from the sparrow to simply be, fly, sing, and not to worry.
