Tranquility

2/25/2012

 
Thou shall keep him in perfect peace,
whose mind is stayed on Thee,

2/18/2012

neither do they reap, nor gather into barns;
yet your heavenly Father feeds them... 
Matthew 6:26a


The common sparrows who use my window's small ledge as their daily meeting place seem oblivious to winter's frigid weather. Be it sunny and mild, or snowy and cold, each morning and at various times throughout the day, they'd perch on the ledge and sing their songs and discuss bird matters...

Winter's Calm

2/3/2012
