My chirpings as a sparrow! I have been doing “ Chirpings from a Strathalan Sparrow” for many years. I have always ended with an encouraging paragraph. I have decided to post some of these paragraphs on this blog. I hope that they may encourage anyone who reads them
We celebrated King Charles’ birthday last week. It seems so strange after so many years of the Queens Birthday holiday in June! The day will be the same but just have a different name.
May we always, every and continually eternally praise the King of Kings, who is our loving Lord Jesus! He will reign forever and ever! ❤️❤️
It was “World Turtle Day” last week! Turtles move very slowly and they look quite cute with their shell on their back. The shell though is quite hard and weighty, so it requires a lot of effort for them to move. That is reason why they move slowly.
Our beautiful and loving Lord Jesus and loving Heavenly Father loves us very much and helps us to carry our load of pain, concerns and tiredness, just like a turtle. Sometimes the load feels very heavy, but we are so encouraged that our Lord has us in His Hands and carries the load with us ❤️
I think that these pictures of frogs are so cute! They make me smile! Frogs are not the most “prettiest” animals in the world! But our loving Lord Jesus and Loving Heavenly Father made them especially for the world. They made so many wonderful creatures and each animal has been so intricately made, with their own special unique features and way of living. May we ever and always give praise to our wonderful creating Lord! ❤️
It is Mother’s Day this coming Sunday. I send hugs to everyone as they remember their Mums. My Mum who is Heaven is so beautiful to me and her love remains with me everyday. It is comforting that our Loving Lord Jesus and Loving Heavenly Father know that we very much miss our Mums and gently say to us: “I understand”❤️🦋 Tears are unspoken prayers ❤️
I could hardly believe when I looked on the coles online website the other day and saw that the Coles dark and light fruit cakes that we used to buy for and sell at the Strathalan Kiosk for $3.50 is now $6.50 to buy at the store! It is a big price increase! Our life is like a “fruit cake”! It is made up of joys, sadness, laughter, and tears, all mixed together like the ingredients in a fruit cake. Throughout each day the beautiful love of our Lord blends all that happens in our lives together, and we know that He is always caring for us ❤️🌼
I thought that this picture of lots of varieties of biscuits that was on the Arnotts website was great! They sell so many types of biscuits! Everyone has their favourite Arnotts biscuit whether it be plain, cream, chocolate, dry or savoury! When I think of Milk Arrowroot, Milk Cofffee and Marie biscuits, they seem to be comforting biscuits. They are plain, but also nice.
This week is special Easter week when we are especially thinking of the very loving death and triumphant resurrection of our beautiful Saviour and Lord Jesus. Each day of the year though may we give heart -felt thanks to Him for what He did for us on the cross ❤️ He has died, He has risen. He will come again ❤️
The Australian Grand Prix was held last weekend. I am not really “into” racing car contests, although I did enjoy watching the “ Cars” Disney movie! For the people though who enjoy watching car racing it is a fun and exciting time for them. The cars go a lot faster than the donkey who carried Mary and Joseph to Bethlehem for the loving birth of our beautiful Saviour. But what a special job that the donkey did! I can imagine that he stayed at the manger with Mary and Joseph whilst she gave birth, and would have smiled at the first loving cry from our Lord ❤️ Another donkey and her colt also had the very special privilege of carrying our Lord as He rode into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, as a King ❤️
People were talking on the radio the other day about girls and boys names that are popular, and orders that have now “fallen out of fashion”. Some names seem to always be popular. The top 3 boys and girls name in Australia for 2022 were Charlotte, Amelia and Olivia, and Oliver, Noah and Charles. When I was at school, I didn’t know anyone with those names…although my special teddy is called Oliver!
The most precious name ever and ever is Jesus our Loving Lord and Saviour! Just saying His Name is like saying Love! May we rest in His promise of always being with us whatever our day and life is holding ❤️
The other day, Dad bought some pretty pansies and Johnny jumpups that we have in pots on the table outside our side glass sliding window door. They are lovely to look out at see. Johnny jumpups are very tiny flowers, but are so pretty! We are just tiny people in the whole wide world but it is so very special that each of us is much loved by our loving Lord Jesus and loving Heavenly Father❤️They care about each of us💖
Yesterday was the World Day of Prayer. I could imagine people all around the world meeting in all sorts of places, buildings, Churches, homes, and numbers of people, all praising, praying to, worshipping, and listening to the Word of our loving Lord Jesus and loving Heavenly Father ❤️ He hears every prayer and sees every tear❤️
Autumn began this week.We may still have a few “Summery” weather days though. I have lovely memories of when I was a little girl, and Mum,Dad and I would go into the Fitzroy Gardens in Autumntime and I would really enjoy walking through the Autumn leaves and trying to catch the leaves as they fell from the branches! It was so much fun! Our beautiful and loving Lord Jesus and Heavenly Father paint the Autumn leaves their very nice colours, and send their love continually. Leaves have veins on them, and remind us of our Saviour’s hands of love on the cross ❤️
