Shoregirl's Creations: He watches me

Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? And not one of them is forgotten before God. Why, even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not; you are of more value than many sparrows. Luke 12:6-7

In ancient markets, sparrows were the cheapest creatures you could buy. Five of them were sold for two copper coins—with the fifth one practically thrown in as a free bonus because it held so little value. Yet Jesus said that these small, insignificant birds were not forgotten by God. When we feel small and unseen and our problems seem huge, these verses tell us that we are not a nameless face to God. No, our Abba Father knows us inside and out, right down to the exact number of hairs on our head. If he cares so much about one tiny sparrow, how much more does He treasure us?

Today's mini art journal page features products from Creative Worship Stamps. I inked smooshed two colors of distress ink onto the background and stenciled over it with the diamond tile stencil. I spot stamped sentiments from Faith Definitions 2 and Grunge Elements 2 before creating my little centerpiece collage. Bits of washi tape, drywall tape, and a mini paperclip add interests and texture.
