A DOVE AND BEYOND THE CALL OF DUTY

Some friends in Lincoln, Neb., have a grown son who gave them a scare: he came home from dove-hunting with what appeared to be a dead dove perched on his shoulder. He’s a bit of a comic, so they weren’t all that surprised. They were grossed out, though.

Their lips were just forming the syllable, “Ewwww!” when suddenly, the dead dove lofted its wings and catapulted itself right toward the husband!

Turns out the son had winged the bird while hunting, but picked it up, felt sorry for it, and decided to take it home, nurse it back to health, and release it . . . to scare some OTHER old bird out of his wits someday.

Prayer request: It’s the International Day of Celebration . . . my dear friend Cindy’s birthday. With all she’s gone through with her leukemia diagnosis, and all that she may be facing in the coming year, she grows ever more beautiful in body, mind and spirit, and ever closer to You, Lord Jesus. Wrap her in Your arms with love and comfort all year, and bless her and her husband and children in every way. (Isaiah 66:13)
