PRAISE GOD THANK YOU FOR THE LOVLEY COMMENT I AM RETURNING THE BLESSING GOD BLESS YOU MY DEAR BROTHER AND FRIEND HAVE A BLESSED DAY

Genesis 1:11 Then God said, "Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds." And it was so.

"Some believe the wind exists because they see the tree move. I believe that God exists because I can see the tree."

Romans 9:20...But who are you, O man, to talk back to God? “Shall what is formed say to Him who formed it, ‘Why did You make me like this?’ “

Whisper…We who are clay, blended by the “Master Potter“, come from the kiln of Creation in many hues. What should it matter that one bowl is dark and the other pale, if each is of good design and serves “His” purpose well.

Ephesians 2:10... For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Your sister in Christ, Brown Eagle

PRAISE GOD MY BROTHER AND FRIEND HOWS EVERY THING THANK YOU FOR THE WONDERFUL COMMENT YOU ARE SO KIND STAY BLESSED

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

HAVE A BLESSED WEEKEND MY FRIEND

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

HELLO MY FRIEND STOPPING BY WITH SOME SUNDAY MORNING BLESSINGS

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

PRAISE GOD STOPPING BY TO SAY HELLO

***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

PRAISE GOD MY FRIEND HOWS EVERYTHING

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

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

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

Proverbs 4:23...Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life.

The Wolves Within

An old Grandfather, whose grandson came to him with anger at a schoolmate who had done him an injustice, said, "Let me tell you a story. I too, at times, have felt a great hate for those that have taken so much, with no sorrow for what they do. But hate wears you down, and does not hurt your enemy. It is like taking poison and wishing your enemy would die. I have struggled with these feelings many times."

He continued, "It is as if there are two wolves inside me; one is good and does no harm. He lives in harmony with all around him and does not take offense when no offense was intended. He will only fight when it is right to do so, and in the right way."

"But the other wolf, ah! He is full of anger. The littlest thing will set him into a fit of temper. He fights everyone, all the time, for no reason. He cannot think because his anger and hate are so great. It is hard to live with these two wolves inside me, for both of them try to dominate my spirit."

The boy looked intently into his Grandfather's eyes and asked, "Which one wins, Grandfather?"

The Grandfather solemnly said, "The one I feed."
