What secret, sparrow do you now hold
with Angelic Wings, God hath bestowed
Do you visit Jesus in Heaven by night
in majestic, soaring , this circular flight

Where do you go, as I now lay asleep?,
Tell me, My friend, safe in Gods keep
Do you travel to a distant farthest star
Oh, My,, such a Big Mystery you are...

In such a hurry, It's as if you too know
Quick, reproduce a new-crop to grow
your life, on the earth is indeed short
soon this time for your life- will abort.,

My Holy Word says; that God can see
I'm so very glad He permits you and me
if that tiny sparrow now falling to earth
after our life and death, creating re- birth

My Feathered friend, just out of my reach
Your message comes clear, yes, you teach
You seem very near, yet so ----very far
this Life so short, No matter who you are..

So Fly tiny friend soar up through the sky
One day I will join you, yes, bye and bye
Into the Freedom ,our Creator has given
we shall fly, on through Portals of Heaven...

Psalm 84:3
Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young- a place near your altar, O LORD Almighty, my King and my God.

Old Jonah run from God.... the opposite direction ,....when God asked him to go and preach to Nineveh, ''you go there and tell them Jonah, I am coming to get rid of all of them,,,such a mean nasty cruel bunch, I am going to kill them all and destroy their city,'',,.,Jonah knew God would be over his mad spell and would not kill all of them people so Jonah got on board a big ship opposite direction and soon a storm came up and they threw Jonah overboard and a big fish God had made caught him and swallowed him whole,
but when Jonah was in this fish tomb...... inside of the big whale for three days and nights ...... he come to his senses,,,

setting there with seaweed...... wrapped around his head and shoulders..... and him almost dead ....what a stinking mess I am in now said Jonah,,,..he prayed for God to forgive him..... for not going to Nineveh ,,,''I will go..... if you will save me from this STINKING DIRTY OLD fish,,..''

the old fish got sick ......and upchucked, and puked Jonah out onto shore... Jonah tumbled out on to the shore......,what a stinking mess ...but he was now ready to go to Nineveh.,,......and Jonah hurried and scrubbed himself off ......and was so thankful....... he run to Nineveh .....and calling preaching as he ran....

lo and behold ......The people believed him , everyone of them. I guess he sure sounded scared.....

" repent, repent, the lord is going to destroy ....the whole town... and all it's people "
the governor called a fast and prayer....
and the lord forgave them ...the city and all of it's people were saved.,...

What did Jonah do?....... he got peeved at God..... for saving...all of them people..... he sat down in the hot sun and just asked God .......to just let him die..... he was so mad,..he knew how soft hearted God was,.

God caused a big leafed gourd to grow ......and shade Jonah's poor old hot old body....,and it cooled.him off a just a little...... but Jonah was still fussing...... so God caused a big worm..... to come.and.eat all around the vine ,,,,, the vine and....... cut it around and ......the vine died and wilted,
no juice could flow,,,
Jonah got mad again and wished to die ......God said "Did you plant that vine?" he said" no",. God verified.
"and you are mad because.now,... that vine is dead,"

but listen Jonah son, you are mad.... because I saved all ....of them people in Nineveh,,,
son, you tell me since when is a vine worth ......more than a whole lot of my created people.?

..God gives them ot me......tell and ot teach you lessons ,,.....,you see child...... we each have a gift to share with others ......and some others like you .......may not appreciate another's gifts,,....... just as Julie writes her beautiful poetry..... from scripture, .....;I do the gift,.,,that ,,, the Lord ......asked me ot do for him.... just as you...... do your, .....what.makes yours .......any more me to do,,,,,is my gift less important than a pretty poem I did not think so ,look at the sound lesson we learn from this one,,,,so none is more important ,,,,,,than mine,? to God or ot me,,, God bless and may he teach you many good lessons of life,,,,
