WHAT IS THE COST OF TWO SPARROWS?

One evening i toke a stroll with the chaplains assistant,Clark http://www.jcraigclark.blogspot.com/ and as we reached a tree that had numerous birds(so small i toke them for sparrows),singing sweetly in the trees,perching on the young branches,with a fresh hope of a brighter tommorow,and alot of appreciation about a day well-lived,i couldn't wait but wonder how everytime animals and all creation gives glory to God by doing what they were created to do,that God has a brood smile across his lips when he sees the birds perching,and the ants criss-crossing on the tree trunks,the trees being humbly swayed by the wind and that the humans doing what they're are supposed to do.owing to their equisite beauty in their abode,Clark was persuaded to pull out his camera and capture those beautiful moments.
In the tenth chapter of Mathew, http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+10%3A29-31&version=NIV There are these verses that stands out in my mind with the kind of significance that would inspire hope to the hopless and faith to the doubting
"Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father.And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.So don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows."
It appears to me that sparrows were the cheapest items sold in the market and that not even a single one of them would vanish without his notice,implies to me that God knows and is well aware about the financially insignificant items and possessions we own,The penny in this case refers to an earlier day assarion or a small Roman copper coin and one of them was no less that one-sixteenth of a denarious(which was less than a half hour's average wage.
Quite often when the summer had become so tense with temps! rising as high as 120 degrees Fahrenheit,it was always common scenario to find a small bird buried in the sand of the desert,having suffered a painful death of starvation or disease and even predation,and honestly if God is well informed about those dead sparrows and if He knows we humans are worth more than sparrows(birds) then there is no need to worry,not even for a second.I believe God knows every born and sinew within us intimately http://biblebrowser.com/job/10-11.htm-Job 10:11 and values us far much more than the sparrows
Well i have seen many people with really long hair that it w'd take a million times to count them and yet if God knows every single detail of it, and if HE does know about the seemingly invisible hairs on our head,then he knows our thoughts,fears,desires,likes and dislikes,strengths and weakness,hopes and anxieties as well as our dreams.
