Eagle
once upon a time,there was a large mountainside,where an eagle's nest rested.The eagle's nest contained four large eagle eggs.
One day an earthquake rocked the mountain causing one of the eggs to roll down the mountain to a chiken farm,located in the valley bellow.The chikens knew that they must protect and care for the egg so an old hen volunteered to nurture & raise the large egg.One day,the egg hatched & a beautiful eagle was born.Sadly,however,the eagle was raised to be a chicken.soon the eagle believed he was nothing more than a chicken.The eagle loved his home & family,but his spirit cried out for more.While playing a game,on the farm one day,the eagle looked to the skies above and noticed a group of mighty eagles soaring in the skies."Oh" the eagle cried."I wish I could soar like these birds"The chickens roarad with a laughter."You can not soar with those birds!you ara a chicken and chickens do not soar".
The eagle continued staring at his real family up above,dreaming that he could be with them.Each time the eagle wouldlet his dreams be known,he was told it couln't be done & that is what the eagle learned to believe.
The eagle,after time,stopped dreaming and continued to live his life like a chicken.Finally,after a long life as a chicken,the eagle passed away.
You become what you believe you are.So if you ever dream to become an eagle follow your dreams."Not the words of a chicken."

Zorro, how true this sad story is!! There was a time when I believed I could soar with the eagles, and indeed did; but, I'm not sure what happened... maybe I started hanging around with chickens or somethign... but, I stopped soaring.
But, the Lord has once again reminded me that I am and Eagle and not a chicken - we're all Eagles if we choose to answer the Call!
So, let us spread our wings, and soar on the winds of our dreams! He's placed those dreams in our hearts, now let us become the Eagles He's called us to be.
Blessings, my brother.

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.
