Flying Above 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 high above the storm.

While the storm rages below, the eagle is soaring high above it,

gliding with ease.

The eagle does not escape the storm, it just simply uses the

storm to lift it higher.

It rises on the winds that bring the storm into its world.

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 faith toward God!!!

The storms do not have to overcome us.

We can allow God to lift us above them. God enables us to ride

the winds of the storm that brings sickness, pain, tragedy,

failure and disappointments in our lives, and make something good

come from it.

We can soar above the storm.

Remember, it is not the burdens of life which weigh us down, but

it is how we handle them that counts.
