The Eagle and the Storm

69 words

An eagle uses the storm to lift it higher. It spreads its mighty wings and uses the current of the storm to soar above it. The eagle does not fear the storm; it uses it. When the storms of life come, we can choose to be like the eagle - using the very winds that threaten to bring us down to lift us to new heights in our faith.
