Feed the Birds



Kol Isha Alert!

Often, we don't realize the value of the little things we do. We think we're incapable, not worthy enough; we think that noone pays us any attention, and that what we do or say makes no difference.

"Feed the Birds" recently became one of my favorite songs. I can listen to it again and again and not tire. The song's lesson is timeless, and I tear up each time I play it.

Keep doing those little things, and show others you care. Don't worry; even if you think you're invisible, you're far from it.

"Though her words are simple and few, listen, listen she's calling to you..."

Those words give me the chills...
Maybe because sometimes we forget to look out for those with few words but so much to say...

I guess we just need to keep our eyes open for opportunities to mean something to those around us...

Great post. Short yet powerful.
Gotta learn how to do that :)

It's so true. Sometimes people feel like they don't do anything special just because their names are not part of every committee and on the plaques in shul when in fact, if they mean the world to just one person, then that makes them great and special too. And Bas Melech probably knows the song the same way I do, from the Jewish "Miri Pops In" lol.

Seen the film many times but never taken the lesson till you pointed it out - thank you.

It's not "since when" -- try "until when." :-P

Cmon, I spend my life in blogland, how frum do you think I am already?!
