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 statuesque 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. When the blaze arrived, and the heat 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, then be different because of it. My instructions were
to send this to people that I wanted God to bless and I picked you. sPlease
pass this on to people you want to be blessed.

Time waits for no one. Treasure every moment you have. You will treasure
it even more when you can share it with someone special.
