Hide me in the shadow of your wings.
Psalm 17:8
A farm really isn't a farm unless it's got some hens. The sight of a hen with her chicks is always special. Wherever she goes they will all follow her.
She constantly chuckles and at the sign of danger she will chuckle on a higher note. They will come running to her, disappear under her wings and be out of sight.
It is the image used in psalm 17, ‘hide me in the shadow of your wings.' It is a beautiful image and tells us much about God's love for us and about God's safety, intimacy, tenderness and warmth.
We all need such shelter and protection from all that life throws at us. We all need to hide from time to time. Doing it with God can bring many blessings
Thought For Today by Fr.James McSweeney
GOOD MORNING !
I am up early so that I can get our turkey in the oven for dinner today. It has been very nice the past 2 days sleeping in a bit.
When I saw the thought for today above, I thought it was appropriate to put in today's entry. As this mother hen will have some of her chicks return to the roost here today.
One of our aol journalers always refers to herself as 'mother hen'. he,he. Once a mom, always a mom for sure.
We had a grand time yesterday and I hope you enjoy the pictures I put in today. There should be more tomorrow of our Family Feast that we're having today.
Thankfully I still will have one more day off tomorrow to rest up a bit before returning to work. It is only 27 degrees here this morning. Wintertime temps for us here today. Soon everything will be frozen solid outside and will stay that way for months to come.
BLESSING FOR THE DAY
GRAND'BABES'
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Are you bored with life?
Then throw yourself into some work
you believe in with all your heart,
live for it, die for it,
and you will find happiness
that you had thought
could never be yours.
Dale Carnegie
May JOY find your HEART and warm your SOUL.
