I believe each and everyone one of us, as Christians, have with Christ, the potential in being eagle Christians. The Word tells us that we were not meant to be earthly. Earthly takes much flapping which makes us tired and weary. My prayer for everyone is for many feathers to be added to your wings, which Christ left for us in scripture and then for you to soar on the warm thermal currents of the Holy Spirit to lead, guide, carry, and direct you on the paths that He has set out for each and every one of us. God Bless You! Your sister in Christ, Brown Eagle

The Pit

Do you know of someone... a friend, loved one, or even a stranger in the pit? The pit of depression or of despair, the pit of alcohol and or drugs, the pit of bad relationships, the pit of finances, the pit of loss...whatever it may be, the pit knows no difference, holds no limits, or has any restirctions. The pit is one of bondage, fear, suffering, loneliness, defeat....it is a place extremely destructive to ones very soul and being.

Whisper....I'm sure as I do...you hear the echos of tears falling and the sounds of pain in the winds. Have you noticed, the more you try and reach for another in this place, the further down one digs? How can we help someone in this place, when our arm and reach have limits?



God whispered to me one time..."Love Them!"

1Cor. 13:13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
1 Th. 1:3 We continually remember before our God and Father, your work produced by faith, your labor prompted by love, and your endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.

Faith: Pray and KNOW the Lord hears and will answer.
Gal. 5:6b: The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love. 1Cor. 16:13, 14 Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be men of courage; be strong. Do everything in love. Luke 7:47, Heb. 11:1

Hope: Hope that a friend or loved one reaches out.
Col. 1:5a the faith and love that spring up from the hope...
Rom 5:5 And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out His love in our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom He has given us.
1 Th. 3:b ...and your endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.

Love: Love them.
Rom 8:35-39 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? verse 39 neither height nor depth,....
1 Cor. 8:1 love builds up, 1 Pet. 4:8 Love covers a multitude of sin, Mt. 5:46...




Whisper....Christs arms and reach have no limits!

Isa. 49: 8,9...to say to the captives and to those in darkness, "Be free!"
Isa. 58:12b You wil be called Repairer of Broken Wallls, Restorer of Streets with Dwellings.
Psalm 86:13 For great is your love toward me; you have delivered me from the depths of the grave.
In and to Christs Glory! Brown Eagle

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

Overcoming

Eagles are over comers. The baby eagle while still in the egg has a sharp little tooth on the end of its beak. It uses this tooth to repeatedly hit the shell until it finally cracks open. They need this experience of the struggle to help them prepare for life. This process, especially as a parent or close friend, at times requires tough love to keep our hands off others during this process. There are times in our lives that we need to peck away to get our break though. We don't grow without it. We need this private place for a breakthrough where we can possibly wrestle, possibly struggle, and definetily work it out with God.
Isaiah 41:10-16. verse 15 .God is turning us into new, sharp, threshing instruments, so we can confront the enemy and to be able to help others.

Tool for thought: Falling down doesn't make you a failure, staying down does.

Revelations 21:7 He who overcomes will inherit all this, and I will be his God and he will be my son. Seven times in the book of Revelations there are inheritances for those who overcome, (2:7) the right to eat from the tree of life (2:11) will not be hurt by the second death (2:17) will receive some hidden manna, and also will receive a stone with a new name written on it, known only to him who receives it (2:26 overcomes and does His will) will be given authority over the nations (3:5) will be dressed in white and their name will He never blot out from the book of life, but He will acknowledge their name before His father and His angels. (3:12) He will make a pillar in the temple of my God (3:21) I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I overcame and sat down with my Father on his throne.

Set your goals higher then your ability. Soar my friend Soar!
In Christ and In Love, Brown Eagle

Ecc. 2:11 Yet when I surveyed all that my hands had done and what I had toiled to achieve, everything was meaningless, a chasing after the wind, nothing was gained under the sun.


The Robins....

We have several pairs of robins that visit the gardens out back. (though only one pair at a time in the yard) Robins are our routine and in need for structure birds.... No change, things have to stay the same. They are very territorial, having very few social skills. Robins are not willing to take the time to be with nor wanting to get along with most of the other birds out back. Let's check the calendar, Sunday, one hour for church. Ok, that'll work, I have nothing else scheduled. But the church dinner on Monday, sorry, can't do it, I get my claws clipped that day every week. This behavior creates a lot of pressure and stress to keep up with this type of living.... Marigolds equal spacing equal rows, where's that tape measure?...scrubb four times b4 placing in dishwasher...here sit on the floor, it's more comfortable...I'll order the same as last week, and that's been the same for the past 20 years.... please scrubb the carrots until they reach half their size... two hours early, that's ok, that's on time. It can turn into literally a form of placing ones own self into bondage. It can also lead to becoming obsessive, and even at times compulsive. Lets not also forget to mention and think about the loved ones that have to dwell with these type of birds. Their obsessions, pressures, and stress are also placed upon them and sometimes they end up living life in chains also.


Tool for thought: Solomon knew and reflected on this throughout the Book of Ecclesiastes.
Ecclesiastes 4:8 There was a man all alone; he had neither son nor brother. There was no end to his toil, yet his eyes were not content with his wealth. For whom am I toiling he asked, and why am I depriving myself of enjoyment? This too is meaningless- a miserable business
Ecclesiastes 3:1 There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven:
And let us not forget about dear Martha in Luke 10:38-42. Could we even be so busy doing things for Jesus, that we're not spending any time with him?
Gal 5:1, 22, 23 Gal. 6:7,8

Lord, my prayer lifted is for balance in our actions and deeds. I pray also that we do not let our service become self serving and self defeating. For it is God who works in us to will and to act according to His good purpose. (Php 2:13) Christ in us, the hope of glory! Amen! Your sister in Christ, Brown Eagle
