Got a kick out of words written by someone, who in effect wrote, "If
life deals you a lemon, you can get sour, or make lemonade". Maybe that quote
can be perfected by the writer, who typed this only a day or two ago. I love
reading those kinds of encouragement. And I love receiving devotions that might
impact kids I can reach.............especially kids.......in todays world we all
need all the help we can get, but especially the kids. It'd be nice to take them
back to the way things once were in this old world. But then again, God has
something so much better. And besides, they were created for such a time as
this.
Enough rambling.......hope this
repeat helps someone. Especially if they want to reach someone's kids.

EAGLES IN A STORM
Did you know that an eagle knows when a storm is approaching long
before it breaks? The eagle will fly to some high spot and wait
for the winds to come. When the storm hits, it sets its wings so that
the wind will pick it up and lift it above the storm. While the
storm rages below, the eagle is soaring above it. The eagle does
not escape the storm. It simply uses the storm to lift it
higher. It rises on the winds that bring the storm.
When the storms of life come upon us -- and all of us
will experience them-- we can rise above them by setting our
minds and our belief toward God. The storms do not have to
overcome us. We can allow God's power to lift us above them. God
enables us to ride the winds of the storm
that bring sickness, tragedy, failure and disappointment in our
lives.
We can soar above the storm. Remember, it is not the burdens
of life that weigh us down, it is how we handle them.
The Bible says, "Those who hope in the Lord will renew
their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles." Isaiah
40:31
Take 60 seconds & give this a shot!
1) Simply say a small prayer for the person who sent you this,
2) Then send it on to five other people. Within hours, five people
have prayed for you, and you caused a multitude of people to pray
to God for other people.
Then sit back and watch the power of God work in your life for doing
the thing that you know He loves.
