The Sparrow

Several years ago, a friend of our family passed away in a motorcycle accident. He was only in his 20's, and left behind a new wife.

At his funeral, which was held in a large, beautiful church with open vaulted ceilings, the soloist began singing "His Eye is on the Sparrow, and I know He watches me..."

as she sang, movement caught my eye from up above. I looked up to see a lone sparrow fluttering across the raised vaulted ceiling!

Others noticed, and looked up. I know that they must have had, just as I had, goosebumps at the sight of this little bird as the words of the song came forth.

After the funeral, this young man's mother shared with us that she felt that God had let her know that her son was now being held in His arms, in eternity.

What a wonderful reminder from our Lord, in that little bird, that He sees, knows, and cares about all of us!
