I so want to be an Eagle!

Many blessings are given to those who trust the Lord.  Psalm 40:4

There are times when we are like a bird that has halted her flight and the bough we choose to sit on isn't strong enough to hold our weight.  But we are also so unlike the bird, with our lack of trust, as she continues to sing because she trusts her wings to lift her up if she starts to fall.  We try to carry our burdens alone, without asking for help, and they become to heavy for us.  Why do we do this to ourselves for we have wings too!  All we need to do is call on Jesus and place our trust in Him knowing that He will lift us up and carry us through whatever storm comes our way.

Dolly Parton said it all in her song "She's an Eagle When She Flies."

She's been there, God knows, she's been there

She has seen and done it all

She's a woman, she know how to

Dish it out or take it all

Her heart's as soft as feathers

Still she weathers stormy skies

And she's a sparrow when she's broken

But she's an eagle when she flies

A kaleidoscope of colors

You can toss her around and round

You can keep her in you vision

But you'll never keep her down

She's a lover, she's a mother

She's a friend and she's a wife

And she's a sparrow when she's broken

But she's an eagle when she flies

Gentle as the sweet magnolia

Strong as steel, her faith and pride

She's an everlasting shoulder

She's the leaning post of life

She hurts deep and when she weeps

She's just as fragile as a child

And she's a sparrow when she's broken

But she's an eagle when she flies

She's a sparrow when she's broken

But she's an eagle when she flies

Oh, bless her, Lord

She's an eagle when she flies
