"God's Wings"

After a bad forest fire

In Yellowstone National Park

The forest rangers found

Something hidden in the dark

  

It was a body of a bird

Scorched next to the ashes

With a stick he knocked it over

 He found the hen's stashes  

  

Three tiny fuzzy turkey chicks

Scurried from under the body badly burned

She could have flown away

But for her babies she was concerned

  

The babies grew to full grown

And gave their molted feathers

Stay steadfast in your faith

Show love in your get-togethers

  

An artist took the feathers

And added his fine art

Painted with so much love

He had hidden in his heart

  

Time waits for no one

 Every moment is a treasure

Share your Love and show it

Like God's Love in all it's splendor

'He will cover you with His feathers,  And under His wings you will find refuge.'

Psalm 91:4

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 taken 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)
