be weary; and they shall walk,
and not faint.
About Bald Eagles :
In 1782 the bald eagle was chosen to be the national bird
of the new country of the United States of America.

they use year after year .
Eagles pair up together for life .
Their diet is made up of mostly fish .

Poem for Today's Lesson
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.

Hymntime :
TAKE WINGS TO THY SOUL
Take wings to thy soul; take the pinions of prayer
To rise above trials, temptations and care;
New measures of blessing so trustfully bring,
And hold sweet communion with Jesus, thy King.
Refrain
Take wings, bright wings;
Take wings to the soul, O, believer, today!
Take wings, bright wings;
Mount up as the eagle, rejoice in thy way.
Take wings to thy soul; take the pinions of praise;
Arise, like the lark, in the pure morning rays;
With carols of gladness as fresh as the dew,
Give thanks for His mercies, abundant and true.
