God's Wings ~ A little something to put things in perspective. ..

True story by the way:

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.

Hope this blesses and encourages someone...

Love to all

Zeetz,

I copied and pasted this true story for listeningprayer who has a prayer request; "Struggling today." This story has such a positive message and I am sure that Gods wings will continue to protect listeningprayer until this poster gains strength. Thanks for posting.

Gods Blessings,

Al

Al - oh thank you for letting me know, and for doing that. I will pray for listeningprayer as well.
We've all be there...God saves every tear...

Much love to you Al

Zeetz :

That was so hard to read, my heart is braking.

Would you consider posting that story under the above bird stories dated after
9-3-08 ?

And here is the wing . . . in my childhood story : ( see below )





http://birdrevelationsjob12.blogspot.com/2...ensleghorn.html
You see, she was the only white Leghorn breed chicken, the others
were all Bantam. So she had no opportunity to become a mother. I
continued giving her treats, to reward her nightly `roosting` of allowing
the Bantam rooster under her wing.

EXCERPT:
http://www.bible-history.com/isbe/C/CHICKEN/

CHICKEN

chik'-'-n, chik'-in (Anglo-Saxon, cicen or cycen; Latin, Gallus ferrugineus; alektruon, masculine and fem.): A barnyard fowl of any age. The record is to be found in the books of the disciples, but Jesus is responsible for the only direct mention of chickens in the Bible. Mt 23:37, contains this: "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that killeth the prophets, and stoneth them that are sent unto her! how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!" Luke's version of the same scene says: "Even as a hen gathereth her own brood under her wings" (Lk 13:34).

Hi Zeetz

Reminds me of:

"The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.
And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee."

-Psalms 9:0-10

Oh Betty, yes I will be happy to post this on your other thread...this was a very hard one for me to read also ... I cried, a lot... the mother bird was so like mothers everywhere, and so like GOD, who faithfully shelters and protects His children.

And HeIsFaithful ---> thanks for posting that beautiful scripture. It made me think of another:

Roman 8:31-39

31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

32 He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?

33 Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies.

34 Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.

35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

36 As it is written:

“For Your sake we are killed all day long;
We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.”

37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.

38 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come,

39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.


Love
zeetz
