In Gratitude for Small Miracles

I was reminded recently that I often take the small blessings in my life for granted and only look beyond for the larger miracles.  I love the song:  “His Eye is On the Sparrow” and I heard it sung Saturday at the funeral of a co-worker’s parent.  It is amazing to me that I am always searching for eagles when there are so many sparrows in my view that are confirmation of  the abundance of God’s Creation and the proof of His Protection.  In searching for signs I have again been reminded that it is in the constancy of the things I take for granted that I will find my Joy.  “I sing because I’m happy and I sing because I’m free.  His eye is on the sparrow and I know He watches me.”  I am also reminded in Matthew 6:26-32: “Look at the birds of the air for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, yet your Heavenly Father feeds them.”  It is a good reminder to me to always be aware of all the small blessings that surround me daily. I will remind myself each time I see a sparrow that “I know He watches me”.
