I was listening to the birds again this morning and the loudest ones (crows) were drowning out the others. I’ve been thinking about that today- how often do you notice when you or somebody else is talked over by a louder person? I have found that when you are below other people, it is easy to be unheard.

The smaller, quieter birds have beautiful songs but you need to focus on them to properly hear. It’s like children too. My daughter has the quietest voice, but give her a microphone and she shines. Here’s what I want you to do: think of someone in your life who is often unheard and give them your attention.

I love it when people pull up a chair and talk with me if I’m sitting down, which is pretty much all the time. Two different people on separate occasions got down on their knees to speak to me. I won’t forget that.

So this week, remember the crows and listen for the pure song that quietly rises beneath them. Remember that unheard ones deserve your attention and if it’s you that feels unnoticed think about the God who sees every sparrow that falls and most certainly, fixes His eye on you
