They are in His hands

Are are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.
But the very hairs of your head are numbered   (Matthew 10:29-31 KJV)
Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows
We came home fom Sams one Friday evening. My husband said "looks like you have a bird with a broken wing to take care of". There was a very small bird in the corner of the entryway.  We, at first thought that he had a broken wing.  I found a box to put him in and began planning how I would take care of him. I attempted to pick him up and he flew away, only high enough to reach the top of the fence.  I walked to the fence to "help" him and heard a commotion above me.  Mama bird had been watching from above. She had a plan and I was not part of it. My feeble ideas of help were not what she knew was best. Baby bird finally took flight to make changes in his world.
What I tried to do for that little bird is what my feeble attempts to make everything "alright" for my girls looks to God.  They all in various stages of flying.  They are out there changing their world. I can't physically reach them. I can't fix everything or even attempt to. Just like my attempts with the bird, I don't need to.  My Heavenly Father has a plan and His is best.
