STORMS BRING OUT THE EAGLES BUT THE LITTLE BIRDS TAKE COVER
by HELEN STEINER RICE
WHEN THE "STORMS OF LIFE" GATHER DARKLY AHEAD, I THINK OF THESE WONDERFUL WORDS I ONCE READ AND I SAY TO MYSELF AS "THREATING CLOUDS" HOVER DON'T "FOLD UP YOUR WINGS" AND "RUN FOR COVER" BUT LIKE THE EAGLE "SPREAD WIDE YOUR WINGS" AND "SOAR FAR ABOVE" THE TROUBLES LIFE BRINGS FOR THE EAGLE KNOWS THAT THE HIGHER HE FLIES THE MORE TRANQUIL AND BRIGHTER BECOME THE SKIES... AND THERE IS NOTHING IN LIFE GOD EVER ASKS US TO BEAR THAT WE CAN'T SOAR ABOVE "ON THE WINGS OF PRAYER," AND LOOKING BACK OVER THE "STORM YOU PASSED THROUGH" YOU'LL FIND YOU GAINED STRENGTH AND NEW COURAGE, TOO, FOR IN FACING "LIFES STORMS" WITH AN EAGLE'S WINGS YOU CAN FLY FAR ABOVE EARTH'S SMALL, PETTY THINGS.
...THEY THAT WAIT UPON THE LORD SHALL RENEW THEIR STRENGTH, THEY SHALL MOUNT UP WITH WINGS AS EAGLES...
ISAIAH 40:31
DON'T QUIT
WHEN THINGS GO WRONG AS THEY SOMETIMES WILL, WHEN THE ROAD YOU'RE TRUDGING SEEMS ALL UP HILL, WHEN THE FUNDS ARE LOW, AND THE DEPTS ARE HIGH, AND YOU WANT TO SMILE, BUT YOU HAVE TO SIGH, WHEN CARE IS PRESSING YOU DOWN A BIT, REST IF YOU MUST, BUT DON'T YOU QUIT.
LIFE IS ODD WITH ITS TWISTS AND TURNS, AS EVERYONE OF US SOMETIMES LEARNS AND MANY A FAILURE TURNS ABOUT, WHEN HE MIGHT HAVE WON HAD HE STUCK IT OUT. DONT GIVE UP THOUGH THE PACE SEEMS SLOW, YOU MAY SUCCEED WITH ANOTHER BLOW.
SUCCESS IS FAILURE TURNED INSIDE OUT, THE SILVER TINT OF THE CLOUDS OF DOUBT, AND YOU NEVER CAN TELL HOW CLOSE YOU ARE. IT MAY BE NEAR WHEN IT SEEMS SO FAR. SO STICK TO THE FIGHT WHEN YOU'RE HARDEST HIT. IT'S WHEN THINGS SEEM WORST THAT YOU MUST NOT QUIT.
