A Touch Of Sparrow

By Peace | May 10, 2008

Birds are known to have strong senses of smell, sight and hearing. It is just so amazing the wonders of God and how the Holy Spirit works.

The Heart That Connects
The sparrow is a bird which I caught one day during my childhood. I put it in an inverted rubbish (basket) with a newspaper laid on it. I asked my mother what to feed the bird, and she told me rice. I fed it with white rice. I cannot remember how long I had kept the bird, but if I am not wrong, it was one day. This is because the bird refused to eat. We let the bird flew off. The sparrow flew to the kitchen and went downstairs. At the ground, the bird looked up, really looked up at us. My mother saw it too. We were so surprised that the bird could actually looked up — it remembered us!

Gratitude, the value the birds know
Indeed, all the birds which my parents had released during all the years (through mediums) and birds which I had kept as birds (the peaceful dove), and the pigeon my father caught, as well as other animals, were all animals with ’spirits’ — the spirits given by God, all under the control of God.

Greetings of The Sparrow
On 10th May 2008, the day where the church celebrate Pentecost, Richard, the children and me cycled to church as usual. At the traffic light of Esso Petrol Kiosk, we saw myna flying above, what beautiful scene. While pumping air for the bicycle wheel, a sparrow flew and perched on the branch of the tree right in front of me. I was so touched. Sparrow, my bird, the bird which I had caught on 11th April 2008 too, it came back to me…. and now it came to ‘greet’ me.

Great Mind Think Alike
I cannot forget the wonderful night on 11th April 2008. It was such a wonderful night. I had the ‘pet’ for one night. Indeed it was such a wonder. You won’t believe it, but it is so really wonderful, strange and special, beyond words. It actually stayed overnight as what I had wished, without any restrained and in the early morning, as long as I woke up, it was still at my home, waiting for me, at the window, never flew away!!!! After our meeting in the morning, it finally flew off, telling me that even though it is young, it can still fly, little at a time.

Wonderful Tonight (Wonderful Sparrow)

This is the photographs I had compiled during the special day where I had caught the bird sparrow. At first I could not catch the birds, they flew away. I followed them. I prayed that I could catch the bird. Later, I heard a chirping bird sound and as I was taking photographs, my flash light spotted the sparrow. I was so happy. I took pictures of it, and it just refused to fly away. Later I tried stretched out my hand and I got it. So wonderful, so unbelievable. We brought the bird home, and it flew around, but it never flew out of the house. I understand how the mother would feel when the child is missing. After taking photographs of it, we brought him back to Fu Shan garden, to look for the mother (since it refused to fly away). However, at Fu Shan garden, it refused to fly away still. At the mountain of Fu Shan Garden, it perched on my finger and fell asleep. I had not seen such a sight of a sleeping bird for so long. I told Richard that that was how a bird looked like when it fell asleep. This is because I had reared the peaceful dove before. It slept exactly the same way, with the head hiding in the wings.

We Just Know Each Other
When the sparrow refused to fly off, we brought him back home again. That night, I spoke to God at the window. I prayed and just as it was, throughout the night, the sparrow stayed in the living room, perching on the red basket, sleeping. In the morning, he was waiting for me at the window grill. After that, it flew away….
