Another Great Example of the Sermon

Someone sent me an email that is another example of how God loves and cares for us. Enjoy!

Well, I could not copy the pictures so use your imagination and if you want to see the pictures e-mail me and I will forward the e-mail to you.

Noah the Dove

These little bunnies, about 6 days old, were attacked by a dog and orphaned. Two out of the litter of five did not survive, and these three were not doing very well.

Noah is a non-releasable, one-legged homing pigeon/rock dove that is in the rehab centre. Noah kept going over to the bunny cage and looking in -- even sleeping in front of the door to the cage.

Then, suddenly, there were only two bunnies in the cage. But when Noah moved a bit from the front of the cage to every one's surprise...there was the tiny bunny...under Noah's wing...sound asleep! That little bunny rabbit had crawled through the cage, preferring a feather bed, no doubt to snuggling up with its litter mates!

Now, they are all together and the bunnies are doing GREAT. When the bunnies scoot underneath Noah's feathers, he carefully extends his wings out to surround them and then they snuggle. When one of them moves and they start sticking out here and there, he gently pushes them back under him with his beak! It is beautiful and amazing to see...

This is what God does with us when we need the warmth and love He offers. He gathers us under His loving wings to a warm cradle of protection. All we need do in return is give Him the thanks and praise for being with us.

Follow-up to Sermon

Yesterday I preached on the analogy Jesus gave comparing himself to a mother hen. Today I recieved a video that clearly shows how the mother hen protects her chicks from a hawk. If you have five minutes, check it out. Jesus will always protect the chicks in His care!


Have a blessed week!
