Mother Bird Who Saves Her Tiny Little Birds

An article in an older National Geographic magazine gave a penetrating picture of God’s love for us. After a forest fire raged through Yellowstone Park, one of the rangers found the charred body of a bird at the base of a smoking tree stump. When he knocked it with a stick, three tiny little birds scurried from under their dead mother’s wings. The remains of a half burnt nest nearby told the rest of the story. When the raging flames spread up the tree, the half burnt nest fell to the ground and the mother lit near it so her young birds could find protection under her wings. As the flames flared around her, she gave her life that her babies might live. (Lou Nicholes - Missionary/Author).
