A cute, male house sparrow perched just outside our kitchen window – in great lighting – gave me an opportunity for a few close ups.
He is a rather ordinary bird, but I still find him fascinating.
He has no clue that he wasn’t created as beautiful as a male cardinal.
He just sings the songs he was created to sing and does the things he was created to do.
We could learn from House Sparrows.
It often takes us a lifetime to learn to be content with the person who God created us to be.
Many of us spend way too much time wishing we were like someone else – wanting to be prettier, richer, smarter, or braver.
Yes, we could learn from the House Sparrow and just be content with the person God created us to be…
…developing our own skills and personality
…enjoying life
…resting now and then
…loving and praising God.
Very good advice, Doris. You should write a devotion book with your photos and scripture.
Thanks. That is kind of why I write my blog. 🙂
I am not Anonymous, I am Janet. ?
Thanks for identifying yourself. 🙂
From another Janet — lol — he’s a beautiful bird, Doris, and your photos capture that beauty very nicely! And he’s definitely living the life you describe!
Thanks, Janet.
Jesus had some things to say about sparrows. They run in very good company.
They do run in good company – God’s company.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder – and I’m sure this little fellow’s mate thinks he’s the most beautiful one of the species! LOL
I am sure she thinks that he is handsome. 🙂
Lovely post – both words and photos. I’ve been following you for a while. Your bird photos intrigue me. Would love to know what camera you use and your input on lenses – specifically zoom. I need to upgrade my zoom (before an Alaska trip) and am searching advice from experienced people.
I have a Nikon 7000 camera. My favorite lense is a Nikon 18-200 wide-angle, but I take most of my bird pictures with a Nikon 55-300. Email me at tfcner@dejazzd if you have more questions.
