Sometimes God uses the smallest things to remind us of His great love.
EPISODE #40
The Widower Bird
ABOUT THIS PARABLE
- Concept: Each spring, a mated couple of sparrows raises their young in a backyard birdhouse. This year, however, only the male has appeared, singing a mournful song. What do these birds have to teach us about the love of God?
- Story Origin: Original
- Setting: A suburban backyard
- Precept(s): God knows when a lowly sparrow falls. How much more does he care for us?
- Key Bible Verse: Matthew 10:29-31 Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside of your Father’s care. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So, don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.
