Here is a poem about The dove and what they mean biblically. We will have a deeper lesson on the dove the next day, which is Friday.
Mourning Dove by Paul Willis.
Five days after my father died,
I passed a brown mourning dove
perched atop a grade-school fence.
As I ran by, scarcely a foot away
from its tail, it did not move,
it did not flutter. Minutes later,
I returned on that same path,
and the mourning dove was still there.
This time, I put my eye up to its eye,
black and blank, and I’d like
to think we saw each other
through those windows of the soul.
Was it sick, stunned, dying,
or—improbably—already gone
but as yet unfallen, balanced
between this life and the next,
its body arranged for one
last private viewing?
Already that week, I had seen
what I never wished to see again.
So here is what I want to say:
Fly, gentle dove, and leave your mourning.
We don’t pretend to know your story;
rest in peace and rise in glory.
Closing Prayer: Heavenly Father we thank you for your word today, help us to remember that peace comes from you, and knowing you. Help us to be like doves even when times are very hard. In the name of our lord and savior we pray.
.
Heavenly Father, I’m asking You to give me eyes to see, ears to hear, and a heart to receive Your correction and guidance, as I seek a faith revolution in my life—a dramatic turnaround in my thinking, believing, speaking and acting. I ask You to give me the strength to hold strong in the days ahead.
SALVATION PRAYER
Lord Jesus; Please come into my heart as my Lord and Savior. Take complete control of my life and help me to walk in Your footsteps daily by the power of the Holy Spirit. Thank you Lord for saving me and I know you will answer my prayers. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
