“He will cover you with His feathers and under His wings you will find refuge.” (Psalm 91:4)
It’s a story that has been zipping through email boxes. A dove named Noah, once injured himself, took an affinity to three helpless newborn bunnies that were brought to the shelter. Originally there had been five bunnies. The chances for the remaining three were considerably low at best.
The dove crouched at the door of their cage, cooing that soft lulling sound. One of the bunnies crawled through the bars and nestled under his wing for warmth and security. Eventually, the others followed. All three bunnies not only survived but also began to thrive. I am sure it was pure instinct on that little bunny’s part to go to the dove. But the fact that he was bold enough to leave his littermates and crawl through the bars to find shelter under the dove’s warm feathers- and then by his action enticed his littermates to do the same- provides a valuable lesson for us.
