The Brave Feather

  This year you will see feathers everywhere! Our theme this year is about courage & bravery to step out of our ordinary lives; to love deeper, to live more passionately, to face our fears for a greater purpose.

  Many Native Americans have used the feather to represent bravery for years. A Brave was a very spiritual individual who was a peaceful defender of his/her land & family. A Brave was almost not human because of his/her great deeds. The feather a Brave earned was difficult to earn because it represented the deed itself in which it was earned. Thus a feather isn’t just a symbol of bravery, but of the amazing courage it took to complete the brave deed.

  A feather also comes from the wings of a bird. A bird who can spread those wings & take flight. A feather also represents the freedom of living with courage & bravery; life without reservations, but rather a life with faith.

  So I ask, what better represents bravery and courage than a feather? Who is braver than a mom? Even if your only accomplishment is living in survival mode due to any number of circumstances, YOU DESERVE A FEATHER!





  God has called us all to be more like Christ in our daily lives. To be courageous in our walk of faith. He also promises us protection and strength to endure the calling He has laid upon us,... even motherhood. Being a mom is the greatest blessing we can receive and the most challenging adventure we may ever endure. Today we want you to know, you are brave; you are courageous.

He will cover you with His feathers; 

you will take refuge under His Wings. 

His faithfulness will be a protective shield.  

Psalm 91:4 - Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)
