The sparrow finds a house

Rightly or wrongly I identify with the lonely sparrow in the psalms.  An outsider, hopping and chirping, tilting its head, flitting away startled; hoping to escape notice from whatever threatens.  Today the psalmist says the sparrow has found a house:
"Yea, the sparrow hath found an house and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars..." Psalm 84:3
The goings on of the world continue, but we have comfort in the house of the Lord, and a place to carry out the essentials of life.
