A Little Levity




It seems that much that we see and hear these days is very serious, yet we need a laugh now and then. While we were in Colorado, our grand dog, Rado perked up when PaPa would read Bible Stories. It was quite cute, so we took advantage of his interest and I made this page to remember how cute he was.


On a more serious note, I'm posting an email I received second hand today. It originated as The Daily Encourager. I'm not sure who is responsible for it; howevcr, I do recognize the Bible verse. It is a good message for us now.

Eagles in the Storm

Did you know that an eagle knows when 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 ... and all of us will experience them...we can rise above them by setting our minds and our belief toward God.

The storms do not have to overcome us. We can allow God's power to lift us above them. God 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.
"Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on  wings like eagles." Isaiah 40:31a
