Poetry
Beyond The Nest
In strong branches that reach the sky
Eagles first begin to soar
Never stopping to wonder why-
Created to glide and explore.
Faithful eagles take great care
of their young ones without rest
instructing them to prepare
for their flight beyond the nest.
And they journey from land to sea
In the warm rays of the sun
They strive to live courageously
Until their purposed course is done.
There's a lesson here for us.
Have we flown beyond our nest-
Bold and trustworthy for God's Son
Sharing our faith with all the rest...
Unceasing should our efforts be
Our prayers spoken tenderly
Witnessing for His Kingdom bright
Helping others to know His Light.
Isaiah 40:31
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.

You have presented a very good lesson, learning to look beyond the comforts of familiar surroundings, to the work. The picture is great.
It can surely be a scary world out there, but when we learn to trust and rest in the love of Christ our Savior, sharing life with and loving our neighbor becomes as natural as a bird learning to spread its wings and fly. I love the analogy, Julie - there are so many found in God's creation to teach us of Him and how we relate to Him and the world around us. Blessings always, Jody
this poem was a blessing to me. God intended for us to soar, just as a mother eagle does for her young-and under her care(and Gods care), they(and we) can do just that!
