Noah the Dove

Noah Gen 8:8 Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground; Gen 8:9 But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him into the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth: then he put forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her in unto him into the ark.  Gen 8:10 And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark;  Gen 8:11 And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf pluckt off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.  Gen 8:12 And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove; which returned not again unto him any more. Gen 8:8 Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground;  In the previous verse (Gen 8:7) a raven was sent and it did not return. The Raven is an unclean bird and chose the things of the world over the security of the ark. This verse tells us that Noah then sent a dove. The dove is spoken of very kindly in the Bible. Mathew, Mark, Luke and John all said that the holy spirit descended upon Jesus as a dove. Dove is the symbolical for the Holy Spirit Matt 3:16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: Mark 1:10 And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him:  Luke 3:22 And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased. John 1:32 And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him. The dove is a clean bird and is loyal. Doves mate for life and morn for each other. Anyone who has ever spent time around a dove can witness to their gentle and loving nature. It is no wonder that Noah chose to send a dove. This one makes you wonder who are the smart ones. How we treat the weakest among us, is how we will be judged? Noah the Dove These little bunnies, about 6 days old, were attacked by a dog and orphaned. Two out of the litter of five did not survive, and these three were not doing very well. Noah the dove Noah is a non-releasable, one-legged homing pigeon/rock dove that is in the rehab center.  Noah kept going over to the bunny cage and looking in ... even sleeping in front of the door to the cage. Noah the dove Then, suddenly, there were only two bunnies in the cage.  But when Noah moved a bit from the front of the cage to everyone's surprise ... There was the tiny bunny ... Under Noah's wing ... Sound asleep! That little bunny rabbit had crawled through the cage, preferring a feather bed, no doubt to snuggling up with its litter mates! Noah warming the rabbits Now they are all together and the bunnies are doing GREAT.  When the bunnies scoot underneath Noah's feathers, he carefully extends his wings out to surround them and then they snuggle.   When one of them moves and they start sticking out here and there,he gently pushes them back under him with his beak!   It is beautiful and amazing to see ...   This is what God does with us when we need the warmth and love He offers. He gathers us under His loving wings to a warm cradle of protection. All we need do in return is give Him the thanks and praise for being with us. Noah's love Update on Noah the pigeon: We are Bob and Georganne Lenham of Wild Rose Rescue Ranch in Texas , home of Noah the Pigeon. After finding many posts online featuring Noah and the bunnies and reading about the many lives he has touched (his story has been forwarded around the world) we thought we'd post a follow-up and a few new photos. We knew there was something special about Noah the moment we saw him. Although the bunnies seem to be his favorite, Noah helps out with many rescue babies here at the Wild Rose Rescue Ranch... Noah's first litter of bunnies, almost raised and  ready for release. Noah truly the God-send Now, Noah helps out with many rescue babies here at the ranch ... How wonderful it is to have a full-time soft-feathered nurturer here at the rescue ranch!  He cuddles with all the babies as they snuggle under his warm feathers ... and he "coos" as if singing them to sleep with a lullaby. Noah is truly, truly a God-send. "He will cover you with His feathersAnd under His wings you will find refuge".Psalm 91:4.

Now, Noah helps out with many rescue babies here at the ranch ...
How wonderful it is to have a full-time soft-feathered nurturer here at the rescue ranch! 

He cuddles with all the babies as they snuggle under his warm feathers ...

and he "coos" as if singing them to sleep with a lullaby.

Noah is truly, truly a God-send.
