This is the project I came up with for the altered items project for Allyscraps.com. The theme was spring and it had to have a bird on it. I saw these papers and loved the colors, it just so happened there was also a sparrow! Which reminded me of the song "His eye is on the sparrow" the lyrics are so simple but true...
Why should I feel discouraged? And why should the shadows come?
And why should my heart feel so lonely, and long for heaven and home?
When Jesus is my portion, my constant friend is He.
His eyes in on the sparrow
and I know He watches me.
I sing because I'm happy.
I sing because I'm free.
His eye in on the sparrow
and I know He watches me.
by Civilla Martin, 1905.
I sing all the time, and it brings me joy. Even when times are hard, maybe even more when times are hard. Recently we went through yet another trial with one of our blessings. Our oldest was having heart palpitations, we took her to the doctor. They ordered tests and they came back abnormal for her heart and thyroid. You can imagine how scared we were as we waited for the appointment with the cardiologist! We did not want to cause her any fear so we did not tell her right away, we did have many people praying (if you are one of those people, thank you.) Well the cardiologist says her heart is fine, thank God! She had an appointment with the endocrinologist and they took some more blood for labs. We will not get the results for a few weeks but at least we know her heart is ok.
I know that He is in control. I know that He watches over me and my babies. I know that I can sing and have joy, even when times are hard. And you can too. Blessings to you.Labels: it's a God thing
