I originally used this theme as an “His Eye is on the Sparrow” and also for a “Flock in for Fellowship” theme at one time. So many directions you could go with this. Birds are some of the most beautiful little creatures that God created. There is so much to learn from them and so much beauty from them to soak up.
Oh, and baby birds make great baby shower themes!
