The Down Comforter

One of the things I loved about the little chicken was his softness. He was a ball of light fluff and I loved to hold his softness in my hands. His soft down feathers, even all over his legs and toes, gave me a feeling of comfort and delight. It's made me think about the comfort God extends me:

. . . how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings. . . Luke 13:34b

He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge. . . Psalm 91:4
