Grandmommy’s Notes in the Margin

Cousin Camp at our house is all about grandchildren building relationships with their cousins.

“Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father…So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.” Matthew 10:29-31

As a child, I used to sit with my grandmother and listen to Billy Graham on the radio. She loved to hear George Beverly Shea sing. There was NO talking when Mr. Shea was singing! Sometimes I think it was her favorite part. She especially loved to hear him sing, “His Eye is On the Sparrow”.

You know, it has become one of my favorite songs, too. So many times, I am reminded that God’s eye is on the sparrow and that I can rest, assured in the knowledge that He is watching me.

So, why is it my favorite photo of my dad??
