Why is the bald eagle a symbol of greatness?
Do you know what an eagle does when a storm is coming?
When a storm is coming, an eagle does not seek shelter. Nor does it seek the lowest spot possible.
Instead, it flies to a high spot and waits for the winds to arrive. When the storm hits, the eagle moves its wings to enable the wind to pick it up and lift it above the storm.
While the storm rages below, the eagle soars above it. It does not even try to escape from the storm but uses the storm to lift it even higher instead.
When the storms of life come upon you, please remember how an eagle responds to storms and rise above them.
Let the winds that bring turmoil into your life lift you higher.
If you do this, you will overcome every storm.
Teach your children to let the winds lift them above storms,
and they’ll be overcomers, too.
