20     God's Wings
 
    An article in = National=20 Geographic several years ago provided a
penetrating picture of God's=20 wings...
    After a forest fire in Yellowstone = National=20 Park, forest rangers began
their trek up a mountain to assess = the=20 inferno's damage.
     One ranger found a = bird=20 literally petrified in ashes, perched
statuesquely on = the ground at=20 the base of a tree.  Somewhat sickened
by the eerie sight, he knocked = over the=20 bird with a stick.  When he struck it,
three tiny chicks scurried = from=20 under their dead mother's wings.  The loving
mother, keenly aware of = impending=20 disaster, had carried her offspring to the
base of the tree and had = gathered=20 them under her wings, instinctively knowing
that the toxic smoke = would=20 rise.  She could have flown to safety but had
refused to abandon = her=20 babies.  When the blaze had arrived and the heat
had scorched = her small=20 body, the mother had remained steadfast.
   =20 Because she had been willing to die, those under the cover of = her=20 wings would
live.
     "He will cover you with = his=20 feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge" (Psalm=20 91:4)
 Being loved this much should make a difference in your=20 life.
         Re= member=20 the One who loves you and then, be different because of=20 it.
 
 
Don't drive faster than your = Guardian Angel=20 can fly.
