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
I completely love my beautiful and loving Heavenly Father❤️There are not enough words to express our love for Him, all that come from His love for us, so it best said in the words: “Praise the LORD!”
We are getting some trees removed from back/side yard area. The trees are a bit dead, and do need to go. It was interesting and great that one of the tree removal services that came to give us a quote for the job took pictures of the trees in our yard, and sent us the pictures and the quote cost by email, after they left. On the pictures, there were red crosses to mark the trees that were to be removed. It was helpful.
The most beautiful cross in the whole wide world is the cross that our Loving Lord and Saviour Jesus died for us on ❤️. Each wooden grain in it is full of love❤️
We usually get our groceries from Coles, but sometimes Dad goes to Woolworths to get certain items that they only stock or if there are some good specials on items. When he went last week, he said that he “couldn’t resist” buying me something that he saw whilst he was there. It is serviettes with a fairy/princess with red hair! They are so cute! I hardly want to use them! Dad said that as soon as he saw the red hair, he just had to buy them!
There is such a large variety of colours of hair that people have right around the world. And our hair can also become greyer or whiter as we age. Sometimes we lose all our hair also. Our loving Lord Jesus and loving Heavenly Father loves each of us, whatever our hair colour or if we do or do not have hair. I don’t really know what hairstyle or colour hair our Lord had when He lovingly walked on this Earth, but I think that little children would have found comfort in touching His hair whilst He held them in His arms❤️
We are now into August, the last month of Wintertime! Soon it will be Springtime, so that is great! My grandparents ( Mum’s Mum and Dad ) had birthdays very close together. One was at the end of August and the other at the start of September, then all at the same time was Fathers Day! There was so much to celebrate at that time! Each day, we can celebrate our loving Lord Jesus and loving Heavenly Father and their love and care for us. They know all that we are going through: the joys, the tears, the tiredness and the smiles. We are in their tender care ❤️
My lovely Dad came home from shopping the other day, carrying into our lounge room a beautiful bunch of yellow daffodils! They certainly brightened up a cold Winters day! Daffodils sing a message of joy and hope.Much, much more though the love of our loving Lord Jesus and loving Heavenly Father fill our daily lives with joyful hope ❤️
Dad and I were talking the other day about how Arnotts has discontinued selling “ lattice biscuits”. They were a great biscuit to use when cooking slices! They had a lattice look to them, and were like a pastry in a biscuit.
The word “ lattice” reminds me of a curved trellis or a pergola where you can sit outdoors on a nice weather day,and be protected from the sunshine, or from windy or rainy weather on other days. Our beautiful Loving Lord’s love is like a lattice over and around us. It lovingly protects and cares us in all that our day holds. We still have pain and tiredness but His lattice of love enfolds us in His care❤️.
We are now half way through Winter! That is great! Winter is not my favourite season, as it is cold and not sunshiny! It is lovely though that in the midst of cloudy skies and darkness, all of a sudden beautiful glimpses of sunshine still appear! Perhaps we appreciate the sunshine even more when that happens then on a Summery sunny day. The love of our beautiful loving Lord Jesus and loving Heavenly Father shines through all the parts of our day. We rest in His love through our pain,weakness and tiredness ❤️
There are many people who are heading for the snowfields these season to have fun in the snow! They may be skiing or building cute snowmen or just enjoying time spent chatting around a warm log fire having warm cups of coffee,tea or hot chocolate. It would be too cold though for me! I like the warmth of home!
Our loving and beautiful Lord Jesus and loving Heavenly Father express some of their power and majesty as they send the snow. Snow glistens in its whiteness, and each snowflake has been formed beautifully. The ground is covered in whiteness just like as we look outside through windows we see the touch of our creative Lord in all that we see in nature ❤️
Our beautiful and loving Lord Jesus and loving Heavenly Father care so very much about us ❤️ They know when we are tired, or painful or feeling a little sad. They do know that we miss our loved ones that are now living with them in Heaven and they tenderly say to us: “ We’re looking after them and they continue to love you so much. We know and see your tears, and are lovingly watching over you until the time when you will see them again”❤️
Dad and Mum used to present a lovely slideshow program called : “Wintertime Wonderland.” It had lots of slides of Wintertime nature scenes that Dad had taken, and it was very beautiful and majestic. When the lights when out and everyone was looking at the slides, everything was very quiet and we could all give very much praise to our beautiful and loving Lord Creator as we looked at the lovely Wintertime slides. May we continue to give thanks for all the special Winter landscape that our Loving Creator provides ❤️
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 ❤️
