I love that story!. I remember a former pastor preaching on a hen being an odd image of God yet when he shared this story, it become a powerful one and one of my favorites. I hadn’t remember it for quite a while so thank you for stirring that image up for me. Amazing God we have!! Hope you have a wonderful week full of blessings!

When I was young , I heard a story abiut a mother hen on her nest that I will never forget. ( you probably know it) There was a fire in the barn and mother hen was on her nest. Her chicks were just beginning to hatch and she knew there was no way they would have the strength to follow her to safety. Their only hope was for her to protect them as long as she could and hope for the fire to be put out. She lay her body over the egfs and chicks and extended her wings. When the fire was over, the farmer was surveying the damage and fiund the mother hen still in her box, not having survived the fire.
“Stupid chicken” , the farmer said and pushed the hen over with his foot. To his amazement, a nest full of fluffy yellow chicks began to chirp with their first glimpse of sunlight. The farmer couldnt believe his eyes and wept instantly realizing the sacrifice the mother had made.
When I heard this story, I couldnt miss how the Lord extends His saving love over me, to the point of sacrificing His life. I think of the mercy seat with the cheribum extending their wings over the sacrificial blood…. and the empty tomb with the angels watching where He had been laid. …. and yet He promises to even cover me with His wings…. whom shall I fear?

The phrase really hit me, Martha and I didn’t fully understand it. One of those Christianese phrases that people say without stopping to think about. Today I stopped to look things up. Blessing on you too

Lamb is a great image to hold. So meaningful too.

That there could be so much power in such a meek animal is just so representative of the upside down kingdom of God. I remember being at a petting zoo and encountering a sheep and seeing how meek they really are. If you walk toward one it simply backs up. It doesn’t seem scared, just uninterested in conflict. It is the most marvellous thing. They are fairly large animals but completely without offense.
