This is a story that I found in my mailbox yesterday, a little blessing from my sweetie! I thought you might also enjoy it. I dont know if this is a true story, but certainly thought is was a beauitful pictue of the outstretched arms of Jesus, as he die on the cross for us...

Unfailing Love

An article in National Geographic several years
ago provided an interesting 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 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.

When the blaze had arrived and the heat had scorched her small body, the mother had remained steadfast. Because she had been willing to die, those under the cover of her wings would live.

MT 23:37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!

What an example.....

Thankyou sister
