As A Hen Gathers… Under Her Wings

Posted By Jacque on February 10, 2010

Under the Hen's Wing

Matthew 23:37
“Yerushalayim! Yerushalayim! You kill the prophets! You stone those who are sent to you! How often I wanted to gather your children, just as a hen gathers her chickens under her wings, but you refused!

Shalom~

    I don’t think I’ve ever seen a chicken actually gather her chicks under her wings! VERY CUTE! I love the verse too — God’s Word is ALWAYS wonderful.

    I have to write up about this chicken. She was an amazing Mama Hen. I mean, amazing. And even more amazing, since she had no mother hen to take after and be taught how to mother her chicks.
    I LOVED watching her. Michelle, you are going to LOVE having chickens. I love to see chickens pecking in the yard. There is something relaxing about sitting on the porch swing with your Littles, looking out to the yard and seeing them just pecking away at the grass. Cool breeze…. Our chickens even came out in the bitter cold and snow.

    Anyway…. she was a GREAT Mama Chicken, and I hope I can write up about her and post some more photos. I stood out in the cold – ok, I crouched! – to get the photos! I have several.

    That is a beautiful photo, beautiful chicken and her hen! That verse always makes me sad because our LORD sounds so sorrowful! ‘Tis a good reminder!

    To the KING be all the glory!

Hear, O Yisra’ĕl: יהוה our Elohim, יהוה is one!
and you are to love YHVH your Elohim with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your understanding, and with all your strength.' 6 These words, which I am ordering you today, are to be on your heart; 7 and you are to teach them carefully to your children. You are to talk about them when you sit at home, when you are traveling on the road, when you lie down and when you get up.
{Deuteronomy 6:4-9, Mark 12:28-30}

Welcome

Welcome to my online home, Walking Therein. I am a 40-something wife and Momma, trying to walk therein, squeezing in moments of Scripture reading, praise and worship and just quiet between the breastfeeding, child training, cooking, cleaning, child training, laundry, home school, child training, online ministries, and spending individual moments with hubby, adult children, Middles, Littles, and the infant.
Tis the life the Father gave me, and I am blessed to walk in it.
Did I mention the child training?

"Who am I? Nobody special; just a flawed wife and mom, daughter, sister, and friend chosen by YHVH to follow and tell about him."

I am a Believer in the one true God and the Messiah, his Son, whose name is Yehoshua. We keep his commandments because that is what his people do.
"...God's people, those who observe his commands and exercise Yehoshua's faithfulness."
Revelation 12, 14, 22

Jacque Mrs. Jacque Dixon and her husband, Matt are busy preparing and training their nine children up in YHVH's narrow way.

Walking Therein is where Jacque writes encouraging articles of faith, home schooling and the daily adventures of the Dixon family, with a mix of news and reviews also thrown in from time to time.
