Choosing Joy in the Moment: Lessons from Sparrows on Little Pogo Sticks

Little Pogo Sticks by Sally I. Kennedy

The happy flock of sparrows was jumping and hopping as if they were on little pogo sticks. They were, indeed, having a fun afternoon in the sun outside the coffee shop.

The International Standard Bible Encyclopedia says that sparrows are very social and the most cheerful of birds. As I watched them, I thought I could take a few lessons from them. Not jumping on a pogo stick but simply enjoying the moment, rejoicing in the present, choosing joy, and being cheerful.

‘Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care.’ (Matthew 10:29)

Our Father’s love and care for us is priceless, with or without pogo sticks.

That’s good news.

Meditation: This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. – Psalm 118:24
