The eagles build a nest using thorn bush strands
to lock it together.
Then they cover them with leaves and feathers
to make it soft and comfortable.
However, when the eaglets are about twelve weeks old,
mom and dad eagles begin to remove the protection
from the thorns.
Pretty soon the little eaglets are up on the edge of the nest
to avoid the pain and discomfort.
Then mom and dad eagle fly by
with tasty morsels of food just out of reach.
Soon the little eaglet makes a big leap to get away
from the pain and the hunger,
and you know what happens -
rather than the anticipated crashing on the rocks below,
he learns he can fly.  

 Often  times God allows circumstances in our lives,
not to leave us in pain or hungry,
but to lead us to higher levels of success that we would not
otherwise explore.
See those challenging times in your life as -
the beginning of a new season in your life.
Just like the little eaglets,
many people assume that change
will bring a crashing on the rocks below.
Be sure to keep looking up -
you may discover some wings you never knew you had.
Perhaps your opportunity to fly has finally arrived!
