Some Musicians Remind Me of Fancy Pigeons—part 8

 

          Some Christian musicians remind me of a type of fancy pigeon called an Arch Angel.  This type of pigeon is bronze in collar and has a very sleek appearance.  This pigeon are a very quiet bird that, although very beautiful, is not a very strutting and showy pigeon.  When I was a child we used to raise these magnificent birds. I have absolutely no idea how or why this type of pigeon got its name, but the name Arch Angel seems quite appropriate to me. 

          I guess it is because of both its beauty and its name that I used to stare in awe and silence at this beautiful sleek bird for moments at a time.  Every time I see one I am again made aware of God’s creative handy work.  This silent graceful creature somehow causes me to be at peace while I journey through this troubled world. 

          Luke 12:6-7 speaks of sparrows, “Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?  But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.”  Since God keeps watch and ward over a sparrow which is so ugly, surely He keeps watch and ward over the beautiful Arch Angel pigeon.  I think that He created this beautiful Arch Angel pigeon, prompted someone to give it this name, made it available for me to view, so that I can be reminded of his angels that protect me every day.
