God's Wings

A little something to put things in perspective...

An article in National Geographic several years ago provided an
interesting picture of God's wings. After a forest fire in Yellowstone
National Park, forest rangers began their trek up a mountain to assess
the inferno's damage.

One ranger found a bird literally petrified in ashes, perched
statuesquely on the ground at the base of a tree. Somewhat sickened by
the eerie sight, he knocked over the bird with a stick.

When he gently struck it, three tiny chicks scurried from under their
dead mother's wings.

The loving mother, keenly aware of impending disaster, had carried her
offspring to the base of the tree and had gathered them under her wings,
instinctively knowing that the toxic smoke would rise. She could have
flown to safety but had refused to abandon her babies. Then the blaze
had arrived and the heat had scorched her small body, the mother had
remained steadfast. Because she had been willing to die, so those under
the cover of her wings would live.

"He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find
refuge." (Psalm 91:4)

Being loved this much should make a difference in your life Remember the
One who loves you, and then be different because of it. My instructions
were to send this to people that I wanted God to bless and I picked you.
Please pass this on to people you want to be blessed.
