"Hope" is the thing with feathers

I was cleaning out some old pictures and I found this one that Savannah took last year on a trip to the zoo.  I like it soooo much....have to post it....can't delete it.  I love that this perfect bird is just standing there posing for her :)


He will cover you with His feathers; you will take refuge under His wings.  His faithfulness with be a protective shield.  
~Psalm 91: 4~

"Hope" is the thing with feathers -
That perches in the soul - 
And sings the tune without the words - 
and never stops - at all -

And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard -
And sore must be the storm - 
That could abash the little Bird
That kept so many warm

I've heard it in the chillest land - 
And on the strangest Sea - 
Yet - never - in Extremity,
It asked a crumb - of me. 

(not mine this time :)....~Emily Dickinson

Some commentators believe she derived much inspiration for her poems from the Psalms...
GOD IS TRULY INSPIRING!
