After a forest fire in Yellowstone National Park
The 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.
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
Being loved this much should make a difference in your life.
Remember the One who
loves
you, and then be different because of it.
