Eagle

There are many things I like about the Eagle:

Looks For & Flies Into Storms - As storms approach, lesser birds head for cover, but the mighty eagle spreads its wings and with a great cry mounts upon the powerful updrafts, soaring to heights of glory. Eagles use the storm to lift him to these great heights.
Conclusion: Many shun away from the storms of life, few embrace it.

Very Gentle & Attentive To Their Young - The eagle is known for its ferocity, yet no member of the bird family is more gentle and attentive to its young. At just the right time, the mother eagle begins to teach her eaglets how to fly. She gathers an eaglet onto her back, and spreading her wings, flies high.
Suddenly she swoops out from under the eaglet and as it falls, it gradually learns what its wings are for until the mother catches it once again on her wings. The process is repeated. If the young is slow to learn or cowardly, she returns him to the nest, and begins to tear the nest apart, until there is nothing left for the eaglet to cling to. Then she nudges him off the cliff.
Conclusion: In life, the best way to teach someone is to let him try and learn, at the same time, to sit back and monitor progress. also, get out of comfort zone (nest).
Jumps of cliffs- An Eagle makes use of hot-air rising from the cliffs to soar high. They stand on the edge of the cliff and throw themsleves down and trusts that the column of air will take them up.
Conclusion: Learn to let go and trust in God.
Word of wisdom: But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.~Isaiah 40vs 31.
