                  A Mother's Love

 

                   An article in National Geographic several years 
ago provided a penetrating 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 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 
had arrived and the heat had singed 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 shall cover thee with his feathers, and 
under his wings shalt thou trust." (Psalms 91:4)
