It came to me after I wrote this yesterday that the Gospels speak about the Lord's care for us. He knows how many hairs you have or don't have on your head. A little sparrow can not fall to the earth without Him knowing. He knows the stars in the sky by pet names. This is not an impersonal God but one who gave His very life for just YOU. John 3:16. Have a great day in the Lord, and may we realize even more how very much we are loved and cared for. Let's thank Him even more!!!!

Hello special ones,
In a woodsy area of our place a very unusual event occurred as I was watering the flowers. I was trying to make the water spray where I couldn't quite reach. By the tall white Foxgloves a hummingbird came, and I didn't want to disturb him so I moved to another area quite a ways away. Suddenly, the little bird flew by and then back again. He rather seemed to dart at the water so I gently moved the spray. To my amazement, the little bird followed and lit on an azalea plant. I had never seen anything quite like it. I continued to let the spray go over the bird, when he flew up in the air and lit on the rhododendron bush about eight to ten feet from me. What followed was a delight. The little bird flew up to grab some of the droplets of water and then again settled on the branch. He fluffed himself and stretched his wings like an airplane several different times. It was really cute. Then he rolled his head back and forth on the branch, and looked straight up to the sky. The little expressions were so sweet. I wondered why the bird did not seem afraid but grateful. Maybe it was just a baby.
Then the scripture came to me: "Thou openest Thy hand and satisfies the desire of every living thing (even the little birds)! The Lord is righteous in all His way and holy in all His works. The Lord is nigh to all those who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him in truth. HE WILL satisfy the desire of them that fear Him; He will also hear their cry, and will save them." Ps. 145:16–19.
No good thing will He withhold from them who walk uprightly. Dear Heavenly Father, You are so great. We feel so humbled by the tender things you do. Help us to walk worthy of You Lord. May Your name be lifted up in praise!! Have a great day in our Lord. You certainly are loved!
