When I finally went outside after the January 1, I thought with my luck my first bird of the year will be an American Crow...it was, right there at my car.  But today after church I made a quick jaunt in my car through Silver Springs Metro Park...I came across an Eastern Towhee foraging in the leaves.  It was my first sighting of this bird before March and a great addition to my January list.

"Look at the birds..."  Matthew 6:26

I look at them because I believe in their existence, the way their songs begin and end each day–the invocations and the benedictions to God Himself.  I look to the birds because they remind me of what I love rather than what I fear.  And that God's eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me!
