For Christmas my son sent me a couple of glass blown birds with glitter on them.
He knows how much I love the little birdies, especially gold finches and cardinals, so when he saw these he sent them to me because he loves me.
They are beautiful!
"Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they?" ~ Matthew 6:26
I usually leave my mantel decorated for a little while after the holidays and having these sweet little birdies are a lovely reminder of not only my son's love for me but also that of my heavenly Father.
And He loves you too! Have a beautiful day everyone.

What a great gift, Sandi. I have the red one. The verse is encouraging to me today since I am sick with a cold and sinus infection. I know my Lord cares for me. Have a blessed Sunday.

What a dear, dear son you have. Such a beautiful gift. Thank you for sharing it with us
ReplyDeleteI love your birds! They are beautiful...and yes, I would leave them out also. I always hate to put everything away so soon after Christmas. It's nice to have a few little reminders of God's watchcare over us...through the gifts of others...and also because "His eye is on the sparrow (goldfinch, cardinal), and I know He watches me!" Enjoy!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet gift from your son, Sandi, and a lovely reminder of his love for you and God's love, also. I keep wintry greenery on my mantle through January, too, with candles.
ReplyDeleteHappy Sunday blessings to you!
Those are lovely little birds. Yes, He cares for us.
ReplyDeleteLovely little birds! And what a sweet reminder!
ReplyDeleteThey really are sweet birds and you have a very thoughtful son. I like the goldfinch. Have a blessed week Sandi.
