| God Answers a Little Sparrow A little sparrow stopped work one day, He felt unhappy, about himself in every way. "Lord, why do I have to be so small? I want to be an eagle, most of all. And why am I such a mousy brown? I'd rather be a peacock, strutting into town. And what's important about what I do? I'd rather do something, besides clean for You. There's one last thing, I want from You, Can I trade me in for something new?" God answered the sparrow loud and clear, and He told him why in his tiny ear. "The work you do means a lot to Me, for you pick up things, others don't see. To do your work all over town, so you won't be disturbed, I made you brown. Your size is just right, since sparrows are every place. If sparrows were bigger, they'd take up too much space. But most important of all, my heart was waiting just for you, for only a sparrow fits there quite the way you do." copyright 2000 by Roland Ricker |
