Pounding In and Pulling Out Nails

When my daughter was confronted with the fact that she had hurt
another child with a mean comment, she cried and wanted to apologize.
That was a good thing, but I wanted her to know an apology can't
always make things better.
I told her the parable of Will, a nine-year-old whose father
abandoned his mom two years earlier. Will was angry, and he often
would lash out at others with hurtful words. He once told his mom, "I
see why Dad left you!"
Unable to cope with his outbursts, she sent Will to spend the summer
with his grandparents.
His grandfather's strategy to help Will learn self control every time
he said a mean thing was to make him go into the garage and pound a
two-inch-long nail into a 4x4 board. He couldn't return until the
nail was all the way in.
For a small boy, this was a major task. After about ten trips to the
garage, Will began to be more cautious about his words. Eventually,
he even apologized for all the bad things he'd said.
That's when his grandmother came in. She made him bring in the board
filled with nails and told him to pull them all out. This was even
harder than pounding them in. After a huge struggle, he did it.
His grandmother hugged him and said, "I appreciate your apology and,
of course, I forgive you because I love you. But I want you to know
an apology is like pulling out one of those nails. Look at the board.
The holes are still there. The board will never be the same. I know
your dad put a hole in you, but please don't put holes in other
people. You`re better than that."

Bondage, Spiritual: Free As A Bird?

Recently we put up a hummingbird feeder with four feeding stations. Almost immediately it became popular with the hummingbirds that live in our area. Two, three, or even four birds would feed at one time. We refilled the feeder at least once a day. Suddenly the usage decreased to almost nothing. The feeder needed filling only about once a week.
The reason for the decreased usage soon became apparent. A male bird had taken over the feeder as his property. He is now the only hummingbird who uses our feeder. He feeds and then sits in a nearby tree, rising to attack any bird that approaches his feeder. Guard duty occupies his every waking hour. He is an effective guard. The only time another bird gets to use the feeder is when the self-appointed owner is momentarily gone to chase away an intruder.

We soon realized that the hummingbird was teaching us a valuable lesson. By choosing to assume ownership of the feeder, he is forfeiting his freedom. He is no longer free to come and go as he wished. He is tied to the work of guarding his feeder. He is possessed by his possession. His freedom of action is as circumscribed as if he were in a cage. He is caged by a situation he has created. -- W.

Proverbs 28:22-28) A man with an evil eye hastens after riches, and does not consider that poverty will come upon him.
23) He who rebukes a man will find more favor afterward than he who flatters with the tongue.
24) Whoever robs his father or his mother, and says, "It is no transgression," the same is companion to a destroyer.
25) He who is of a proud heart stirs up strife,but he who trusts in the LORD will be prospered.
26) He who trusts in his own heart is a fool, but whoever walks wisely will be delivered.
27) He who gives to the poor will not lack, but he who hides his eyes will have many curses.
28) When the wicked arise, men hide themselves; but when they perish, the righteous increase.










(Psalms 34:8) Oh, taste and see that the Lord is Good; blessed is the man who trusts in Him!

Eagles Eyes Viewing the Parade

Eagles have special eyes. The eaglets eyes develop with maturity. The eagles eyes are eight times stronger then our eyes. They can see a rabbit from 2 miles away. The eagle has two sets of eyelids: one with a lens for looking right into the sun and the other to hunt with. The higher he flies, the larger will be his perspective. Job 39:29 From there he seeks out his food; his eyes detect it from afar.

Whisper...the higher he flies, the larger his perspective....

There have been times years back, while visiting with Christ, I'd ask Him, "Why?" Why to mainly my childhood events and circumstances. The Lord finally answered one day a couple of years ago at a funeral I had attended of a dear loved one Mrs. Berres. After the funeral I was approached by two priests, good friends of hers. I was introduced to them. I shared with them just how much she had meant to me. Then they shared with me the impact of my past, had on her. Due to what I'd been through, she dedicated her life to fight for the rights of emotional, physical, and sexually abused children both within and outside of the church...including a couple of priests who now are serving time. On the ride home that day...I was just left amazed....Lord I understood.

The Parade...
Life many times is like watching a parade that is going by through a peep-hole in the fence. You cannot see what has already passed by nor what is ahead. At times for us, it is so hard to understand the why's...why to pain, struggles, loneliness, loss, hardships, circumstances... But now and then...I truly believe we are blessed with an answer or reasons, all for His glory and purpose. Christ will lift us up and set us on His shoulders for a bit, to see a larger perspective of the parade. That happened for me that day at the funeral. Can you imagine that...a funeral of a dear loved one became part of my parade. Just awesome!
Even Moses...got a glimpse from Mount Nebo in Deut. 34:4b..."I have let you see it with your eyes, but you will not cross over into it."

Deut. 29:29 The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may follow all the word of this law. In Christs Glory and in memory of Mrs. Berres friendship, Brown Eagle

Thank you Aleen as I need a lot of prayers right now.
