On Wings of Eagles

From the Word of the Lord
Isaiah 40:31
.....but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.

I arrived at Groome Transportation in Macon from the Atlanta Airport around 10:30 AM Tuesday, the 23rd. As I was dragging my luggage across the parking lot I heard a flock of birds making a huge racket. I looked up into the sky to see what was going on up there and I saw the most amazing sight - a magnificent American bald eagle. For one second I though to dig my camera from the depths of my luggage but as stood in awe I could not move. That magnificent bird flew across the sky right in front of me, circled around behind me and flew back. It was for me a great gift from God and so as you read these words just imagine that beautiful creation of God soaring in the sky as a gift to you and I give you this prayer as well.

Thank you, thank you, thank you - generous God. You have injected life with joy, thus we know laughter. You have dabbled creation with color, thus we enjoy beauty. You have whistled a divine tune into the rhythm of life, thus we hear music. You have filled our minds with questions, thus we appreciate mystery. You have entered our hearts with compassion, thus we experience faith. Thank you God! Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Peace and prayers to you all!
