Soaring

Hope you feel so loved by our Father and dear Savior. Isn't awesome when we are lifted up in pure sweetness of His presence? See His glorious creation.

Once I saw a hawk gliding over a field. Along with her was a young hawk gliding along with her. It was an awesome sight. It is nice to know that like that parent hawk going before to teach the young that our Precious Savior went before us to show us the way.

I know at times you don't feel like soaring, but as His child, He holds you up on His wings, and carries you.

Many years ago I was sitting our the porch. It was a very windy day with wind from the west. I noticed a small bird trying to take off in the wind. It would go out a ways, then the wind would be to strong and he would be blown back to the tree. I watched after he tired many times.

Then I heard a bird call in the tree when the little one was out a ways. The mother bird flew out from the tree with the young one following her. She went straight north, then curved right into the wind and it caught them up and they went on their way.

It was like she was letting that young one see what wouldn't work. Teaching it a lesson. Then showing it what would work.

So many times in life our Father has to let us learn, grow, gain wisdom in life. Walk alone it seems. But we are told, "I will never leave or forsake you." He tells us that He has to know our heart. Also that in every thing, He can use it to teach us, and bring good from it for us.
