The Eagle and the Storm
An eagle can sense that
a storm is approaching
long before it breaks.
The eagle will fly to
some high spot and wait
for the winds to come.
When the storm hits,
it sets its wings so that
the wind will pick it up
and lift it above the storm.
While the storm rages below,
the eagle is soaring above it.
The eagle does not
escape the storm.
It simply uses the storm
to lift it higher.
It rises on the winds
that bring the storm.
When the storms of
life come upon us,
we can rise above them
by setting our minds
to our goal and dedicating
ourselves to our strength
and faith in what
we believe in.
The storms do not have
to overcome us.
We can use our own
wisdom and strength
to rise above them.
Our dedication to what
we believe in enables us to ride
the winds of the storm
that bring sickness, tragedy,
failure and disappointment
into our lives.
We can soar above the storm.
Remember,it is not the
burdens of life that
weigh us down, it is
how we handle them.
We can soar on our
wings like eagles,
to freedom, on the
winds of the storm.
May God Bless you always!
Thank you for visiting with me!
