The Eagle tests before it trusts. When a female eagle meets a male and they want to mate, she flies down to earth with the male pursuing her and she picks a twig. She flies back into the air with the male pursuing her. Once she has reached a height high enough for her, she lets the twig fall to the ground and watches it as it falls. The male chases after the twig. The faster it falls, the faster he chases it. He has to catch it before it falls to the ground. He then brings it back to the female eagle. The female eagle grabs the twig and flies to a higher altitude and then drops the twig for the male to chase. This goes on for hours, with the height increasing until the female eagle is assured that the male eagle has mastered the art of catching the twig, then and only then, will she allow him to mate with her.
Wanna know why?
Ans: During the time of training the young eaglets to fly, the mother eagle pushes them off the cliff into the air. As they shriek in fear, father eagle flies out and catches them up on his back before they fall and brings them back to the cliff. This goes on for sometime until they start flapping their wings and start to soar.
The reason the female eagle ensures that the male eagle has mastered the art of catching the twig before mating with him is because she needs to know that he is able to catch the eaglets when they are thrown off the cliff and thought how to fly. Amazing isn't it?
God is like the Eagle. He puts us through life's situations and sometimes, its seems as if we are on our own...falling. But I know that at the nick of time, God will always be there. There's a reason why my email is soar eaglet and my blog add too. cause time after time, i'm thrown of a cliff. and when it seems i'm about to hit the bottom, God is there to pick me up. I yearn for the day when I finally learn to soar.
