I Wasn't A Chicken Today!!!

Author Tony de Mello tells about a farmer who put an eagle's egg in a barnyard nest. The eaglet hatched and grew up thinking he was a chicken. He scratched for worms, clucked, and only flew a few feet into the air.

Years passed. The eagle grew old. One day he saw a magnificent bird circling above him. Awestruck, he asked, “Who is that?”

A chicken said, "That’s an eagle—the king of birds. He belongs to the sky. You and I belong to the earth." The eagle believed the chicken, and he died a chicken.

How we see ourselves is how we live. Do we scratch the ground when we really belong to the sky? Do we walk—or will we soar through the high calling of our daily work?

Today I worked hard on my teleconference, trusted God, and had peace! Tonight I'm not even going to THINK about Friday, because tonight I have special plans! Lisa has praise team practice, so tonight after church I get to take my girls home (to their house) and read to them and say prayers and kiss and hug around on them and put them to bed and watch them sleep.That always blesses me!

If you prayed for me, thanks! Today was MUCH better than yesterday! Friday will be fine! I love you, bloggerbuddies!!!
