Even though winter has been slow to leave, the birds of spring are back. Eagles and hawks, robins and sparrows, blue jays and finches. They chirp their eternal optimism secure in God's care.

In these troubled times, it is reassuring that just as God watches the birds and cares for them, God with an even greater love watches over and cares for us. Jesus tells us that all the hairs of our head are numbered and that we are worth more than a sparrow.
