The sun was setting and I stood on my rooftop enjoying every last glimpse of the beautiful orange globe disappearing in the now blue and purple sky. An eagle was soaring above my head and he landed on the house near ours. He was being chased by black crows who looked small next to him.
This is a common practice of the crows and am not sure why but they love to harass the eagle. One flew just above his head almost trying to cause him to duck his head but he just stood still. Another sat nearby cawing loudly. Yet another flew around him in an agitated manner. Through it all he stayed calm and peaceful. As the sky turned a little darker the tiny menaces finally gave up and flew home while the eagle continued to enjoy the view till he decided to soar up, up, up and away!
The eagle reminded me so much about what God says about having a calm and peaceful spirit. At times thoughts, situations or people can keep us agitated, annoyed or frustrated.
The eagle however is gifted with the strength, grace and ability to soar above them. He chooses to be magnanimous despite their menace and remains calm in trouble, knowing who God made him to be. Wow!
Dear Mister God this is @ina... Life is not always easy but grant me a calm and peaceful spirit that brings you delight! :)
