Whisper...there comes a season...where the scars can rest...within the wings of love....and the soul within settles in peace. Brown Eagle

Are you with shadows of the past...one who has hurt or punished yourself?

Ecc 3:7a...there is a...a time to tear and a time to mend. v. 8b...a time for war and a time for peace.
Whisper...could these possibly apply even within ones self?....
Ecc. 3:11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. Isa 61:1-4 Rom. 8:35-39 Psm. 37:23

An inspiration in writing this, came from a portion of Jenny's poem... a precious friend.

" Heal me with your gift of love,
and let the brightness of that light,
Shine over us...
While the shadows fall behind." Jenny

Whisper......we can no longer see the shadows when we keep our eyes and our heart facing the "Son." (Col 2:17, James 1:17) It is only when we are facing away from the "Son" or turn our back on Christ, we then see shadows. In Christ and all to His glory, Brown Eagle

***John 1:12,13 Yet to all who received Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God-v13 children born not of natural descent nor of human decision or a husbands will, but born of God.

The Cuckoo Birds lay their eggs in nests built by others, and let the other birds raise their young.

I was found abandoned at 9 months. An unwanted baby. But I know many others have also experienced rejection....weather it be in a spouse walking out, a friend who walked away, not fitting into a group, not accepted for who you are. Whatever the reason....rejection hurts....it leaves an open space in ones heart and very soul. The shadows left... whisper out for a need of love.

God, the very creator of the world and man... experienced rejection and sadly, still does today. (John 1:10,11) Isa. 53:3 He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering.

After Saint Vincents Orphanage... I was placed with a family and adopted at the age of six. I'm not the only one adopted....whisper....I was just blessed to be adopted twice. ***Eph. 5:1 He predestined us to be adopted as His sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with His pleasure and will. John 14:18...I will not leave you as orphans: I will come to you. ***John 1:12,13

He will NEVER leave you nor forsake you. (Heb 13:5) In Him we were chosen, having been predestined... (Eph 1:11) Nothing will be able to separate us from the love of God...(Rom 8:38,39) The Lord will never forget us, we are engraved in the palm of His hands. (Isa 49:15,16)

Say it, claim it, and believe it...I am complete in Christ! I am wanted and loved by the very Creater Himself. Say it again...I am complete in Christ! I am wanted and loved by the very Creater Himself. Say it until you hear it, say it again until you believe it!

Whisper...the Lord is the only One that can fill that open space left from another. Your sister in Christ, Brown Eagle

We must speak straight so that our words may go as sunlight to ones heart. Cochise

Eph. 4:29 Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.



Out back in my garden, sometimes in the spring...I'll move a large stone, and a sprouting daffodil bulb beneath it is bent, stunted, and colorless. But after a few hours of light...I notice it begins to straighten, and will eventually loose the effects of being held down. We too need "a li so qui lv di," a weight or a burden, at times lifted from our shoulders, so we too can grow and thrive in the light,...to reach our full potential in Christ. We have to show a willingness to stand on the "Rock" and not stay beneath it. Whisper.... at times the Lord may use us to move a large stone that is weakening, limiting, or holding down another. Our actions and words need to reflect our faith. (Gal 6:2 Eph. 5:8,9)

What we say...reaches far. Someone is listening for hope, someone is reaching for help - at some time.... it may be us. Black Hawk

Whisper....thank you for the sunlight through Christ this past week. Your sister in Christ, Brown Eagle

1 Cor. 12:12-31

The Web of Life is well known among Natives.

* We are all part of the web of life.
**We did not create it,
***we are just merely a strand in it.
****What ever we do to the web, we do to ourselves.

The Word with the Body of Christ...
*We as Christians are all part of the Body of Christ.
1 Cor 12:27 Now you are the body of Christ, and "each one" of you is a part of it.
Gal. 3:26-28 You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. Eph. 4:15,16
**We did not create the body...
Isa 45:12a It is I who made the earth and created mankind upon it.
Acts 17:25 And He is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything, because He Himself gives all men life and breath and everything else. Gen. 1:1 Isa. 44:24 Col 1:15-20
*** We as Christians, each and everyone of us, are a part of the body, with Christ being the head. (Col 1:18)
Rom 12:5 so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.
1 Cor 12:14 Now the body is not made up of one part but of many. Col 3:15
****Whatever we do to the body, we do to others, including ourselves.
1 Cor 12:26 If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.
1 Cor 5:6 Your boasting is not good. Don't you know that a little yeast works through the whole batch of dough?

Whisper...UNITY
Rom 15:5 May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you a spirit of unity among yourselves as you follow Christ Jesus.
Eph. 4:3-6,15,16 Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.

How we ask....Col 3:14 And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. In Christ and to His glory, Brown Eagle

Luke 10:30-37 The Good Samaritan

What might be some birds attitudes and responses in the Parable...The Good Samaritan?
The parrots response probably would have been: laying down and pretending to be wounded also, just to see if it would work for them.
The woodpeckers response would be more then likely looking at his watch and deciding to get to his meeting. "I don't have time to get involved in this, I'm just too busy to waste my time helping. I have my routine to keep up with."
The peacocks would say, "thank goodness it's you and not me. Let someone else help and get dirty."
The canaries would respond probably with let someone else take care of him.
The ostrich would stick his head in the ground, saying, "It's none of my business, I won't get involved."
The night owls would say, "You got yourself there, get your own self out."
The buzzards and crows more then likely would just keep on kicking him while he was down, enjoying his misery..
The chickens response would be one sitting on the fence asking others to move out of the way. "I can't see everything going on."
I think you get my point. The eagles response I will share another time.
God does not look for ability but availability.
Gods living Word is just loaded with guidance, direction, support, and truth! We are able, as His children, to help another when they are placed on our path.
Gods word tells us, we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.(Eph. 2:10), all things are possible, (Matt19.26) His grace is sufficient, (2Cor.12:9) He will direct our steps, (Proverbs 3:6) He will supply all our needs, (Phil4:19) He will carry us, sustain us, rescue us. I'm sure this applies to us helping another. We are more then conquerors. (Romans 8:37) How can we fail or lose by reaching out or helping another? John 13:34,35 to love one another is an action! A couple of reminders for the owls and other birds...Luke 16:19-26, Matthew 25:31-46. Stepping up and reaching out! Two or more...Christ through you! God Bless you! Brown Eagle

Gal 5:20 I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. John 12:46 Isa. 64:8 2Cor.4:6 Eph. 5:8

Are you one: just not fitting in, real hard on yourself, did you fall back a couple of steps, still have a few rough edges to deal with, your job or place in the Body of Christ you think isn't that important or needed, having to start over many times... only to somehow find strength to pick up and try again, are you spending many nights on your knees in prayer....my friend you are not alone!

The Broken Clay Pot: Brown Eagle

The angels one day decided to go shopping. (stay with me here) A clay pot for Christ would be a nice gift to give. In a store were many shelves of beautiful clay pots. Most were painted in rich colors and had special shapes from such earthly position and fortune. Smooth, bright shades, perfect shapes, no visible flaws. So filled their lives had been. Then, there pushed back on a distant shelf, was myself...a clay pot worn and broken in places. Life had not been easy...cracks in places from many trials, several chips from enduring hardships, colors which faded through seasons of storms, yet there was also surfaces showing through of love and laughter. The angels were viewing each pot and kept moving closer towards me...I was ashamed to be seen...and b4 you knew it...there they were in front of me. I thought they would just take a glance and move on. They all started whispering and smiling...my heart just dropped to the ground in shame. If that wasn't enough...one of the angels picked me up and held me up in the air. I couldn't figure it out...all the cracks, chips, and worn out places...they were all visible there on the shelf. As the angel did this...there was a loud gasp that filled the air....I looked around at the other angels who were staring at me with wide eyes....

Light flooded through the many broken places in my pot. The angel holding me told me that every time I gave my life over to Christ, it became His life, His hardships, and His strulggles. The angel continued explaining to me that each beam of light through this pot was where I had stepped aside and let Christ shine through, until there was more of Him then there was of me. The angels were pleased and knew that Christ would be also with this gift.

Whisper: The Lord wants all of us... He is made strong in our weaknesses, pain, and struggles. (2 Cor. 12:10) His Glory shines through... broken clay pots. Others will see His light, not our brokeness. It is the Lords love that holds and binds the broken pieces together. Your sister in Christ, Brown Eagle

MAY YOU CONTINUE TO BE BLESSED OF THE LORD

Prayerfully this will find a wing to add feathers too!

Are you or a loved one going through a difficult or rough time? Eagles can sense and know of storms from afar off, even before they can see them. They are not afraid of the storms in life. Eagles don't think survive, but overcome. Eagles fly to the storms to lift themselves to higher places. In Habakkuk 3:16-19. Habakkuks feelings were not controlled by the storms around him, but by the faith in Gods ability to give him strength and to see him through. We need to take our eyes off of our difficulties and look to God. (Zech 4:6) God does not permit storms in our lives for the purpose of defeating us, but for the purpose of building and benefitting us. The storms of trials, tribulations, and adversities, use in life to strengthen our wings. Soar my friend, Soar. Your sister in Christ, Brown Eagle

Eagle Commitment

Eagles move from a process of courtship to commitment. The female eagle flies high into the sky, and the male eagle chases her. Suddenly she turns over on her back in midair and sticks her talons up. He moves over her and locks talons with her while they fall toward earth. He is totally committed. He would rather die then let her go. They are saying I love you, and I will never let you go. I am with you weather your rising or falling, through illness or health, through good days or rough ones, through mistakes, through trials, till death do us part. These eagles then mate for life.

Proverbs 30:18-19 The way of the eagle is too wonderful to understand. Are we as Christians willing to lock talons with others? The bible gives us numerous examples of others totally committed, locking talons. The story of Ruth locking talons with Naomi is a good example set for us. David and Jonathon is another great example. God with Noah and the good Samaritan with a stranger are a couple of other great examples of locking on.

But what about the most important pair. what about your commitment, your relationship with Christ?

We need to be asking ourselves:

Are my talons locked on with Christ?

Am I committed to Christ and to others, to hold on no matter what the outcome, no matter what the cost?

Would I be willing to lock on to a friend, or even a stranger weather they are rising or falling?

Would I be willing to die for another by not letting go?

PRAISE GOD HOW ARE YOU
