These Three Remain - Encountering Sparrows

Walking past the [plaza] closest to the doctor’s office, I was stopped in my tracks.

A house sparrow landed right in front of me, and then her mate, just a little behind her. She stared at me, cocking her head back and forth curiously.

I greeted her, and she didn't leave. Should you hopped closer, and kept looking me in my eyes. And kept looking me in my eyes.

thought of the scripture in The book of Luke chapter 12.

I searched my bag to see if I had any nuts and she came even closer lol.

At some point she gaped her mouth, seeming to ask if I have a snack.

Unfortunately I didn't have anything so I just stood there watching her back. After a brief moment, I crouched down and spoke to her, and her husband, again. He hopped around the area a little, but Neither of them left and she stayed close to me. 

I took two pictures of her before crouching and enjoying the moment, That went on significantly longer than any other sparrow encounter I have had before.

I know God is watching out for me, no less than his eye is on these birds. They are my family of earthly creation, too, fluttering everywhere and finding seeds.

Seeing as I was on my way to the super Center, this is a perfect opportunity to grab something them healthy for them, and I'm sure it's going to be readily available in preparation for summer. Even the garden center is out.At the garden center a woman there. Also looking at the flowers. I noted they were very beautiful, and she saw me later selecting the same ones. 

She pointed out to me to cut off the dead flower heads when I get home and then the rest of it will flourish. 

I told her about my crab apple tree, and told her if she wants when the blooms become apples to come by and I will give her some, or she can pick them from over the fence if she prefers, too.

We exchanged contact information. Her name is ["K"], and she is so kind to strangers. (But in a way that is different in a good way from most of the strangers I end up talking to in the city.) 

What a gift to meet a kind stranger who appreciates nature. 

I will pray for her....

Jehovah knows what I need. He knows I want to be used to do good things, but my life to meet something good for him and for people.

“Now, however, these three remain: faith, hope, love; but the greatest of these is love.” - 1 Corinthians 13:13

These Three Remain - Encountering Sparrows

The mums I got are yellow on the outside, soft purple in the middle, with rusted orange and white gradient rings between.

I remembered the coral mums he dropped off in the pot.

I remembered the pain of knowing; knowing over the coming days our future in this respect.

Hardly to be called a "memory," it is still here.

But these mums are beautiful. Even more, in some ways, or rather simply different or differently. Eyes and heart both play in, of course.

They are also "my colours" together, primary and secondary, N2 and I talk about <3

I wish things were different. But I guess things can still be okay.
