“Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.” Matthew 10:29-31
Thinking about this passage has reminded me of 3 very simple truths. #1- God is Sovereign. Not a single “sparrow” falls to the ground outside of His care. #2- God is good. All things in life are in His care. #3- He loves us, therefore we do not have to fear. Talk about a major anxiety busting passage. Thank you Great Physician for this prescription for my worry.
As I’ve thought about this passage I have been so comforted knowing He has Tobias and Hosanna in His hands, just as He has every living creature on earth. And so I thought it would be really cute to do the babies room in sparrows. I want us to be reminded every time we go into their room how much the Lord has carried us through this process, how He is caring for them as they are so far from us, and how He will continue to care for each of us all the days of our lives.
In light of this, I have officially begun my search for all things cute and birdie to begin adding these visual reminders to the babies nursery. So far Hobby Lobby has been my best friend in this endeavor. They have an entire aisle of the cutest little birdie things you ever did see. In an effort to be frugal I only bought a couple of things; but I think I may have to go back for that green, pink, and blue birdhouse. :)
Thank you God for speaking simply to your children and for reminding us in such tangible ways how much you love us and how in control you are of everything. You are so good.
Amazing! I love it. I don't think I have ever heard of a more beautiful nursery theme.
