Soaring like eagles
Recently I was asked by a kindly blogger acquaintance for my profile. So I got working on it. While filling up my profile, the image of an eagle seemed to soar high on my mind. That’s when I remembered a childhood love of mine – eagles. I remember lying on our lawn with the magic of the cool grass, a brilliant blue sky and a solitary eagle. I could watch eagles for hours. I was and still am fascinated with the way it soars, glides and swoops. Nary a flap or mindless fluttering. They just soar taking advantage of the currents. Maybe it’s just a bird, but there’s something singularly exclusive about an eagle.
And that’s one of the reasons why I love that verse (Isaiah 40:31) that says,
“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.”
What a powerful imagery of God’s love!

Beautiful verse. We don't have many eagles, which I would love to watch. I even like art with eagles. We have hawks that aren't as beautiful, but like to watch them glide through the sky. Blessings, Janie Marie
Hi Betty 'n Janie,
Nice to know you love eagles too. Every time I think of eagles, I can't help but smile. :-)
