Storms Bring Out The Eagles, But the Little Birds Take Cover

When the storms of life gather darkly ahead, I thing of the wonderful works I once read.

And I say to myself as “threatening clouds over don’t fold up you wings and run for cover” but like the eagle “spread your wings and soar for above” the troubles life brings for the eagle knows the higher he flies the more tranquil and brighter become the skies. And there is nothing in life God ever ask us to bear that we can’t soar above “on the wings of prayer” and in looking back over the storm you passed through you’ll find you gained strength and new courage too. For in facing life’s storms with an eagles wings you can fly high above earths small petty things.

Hey, I’ve been feeling sorta bad for a few days, so bad that Sunday morning I made my check to Bethel Cemetery instead of Bethel Church Ha. I suppose I was paying up front. That was quite hillarious.

By the way to whom is concerned or care the grass will soon be growing so don’t forget to send your donations for the upkeep of Bethel and McKnight cemetery. Thanks to you who have been supporting them in the pasts.

Have a good week and please call and share!
