Lifted On Wings

The Bluebirds are growing feathers at the speed of light; their daily growth and development is startling in its rapid progress! Before long those six little beaks will be clamoring for worms and bugs in a cacophony of frantic chirps and that nest will grow ever smaller and smaller. Soon Mama and Papa will beckon their bluebird babies to fly, to test out those God-given wings and set out on their own; it all happens so fast. This morning I am asking you to lift up prayers, as if on wings. I ask that you pray for my husband's sweet cousin, Kathy. Kathy has faced life changing illness head-on over the past few years and fought like a warrior; her road back to health has been littered by complications and obstacles every single step of the way. Kathy loves fiercely, she has the sweetest spirit, and unfaltering faith. She and my husband have always claimed, unashamedly, to be each other's "favorite"; they have a life-long history of being just that for each other.

While its always appropriate to pray to God for health and healing, our prayer now for Kathy and her family is for peace and comfort, if you're a praying person I ask that you join me in that prayer today; please lift those prayers up, as if on wings-- but not the faltering wings of a baby Bluebird this time; lift your prayers up on strong wings so that they will soar with strength and confidence, like those of an Eagle. Go ahead; God's strong, He is ready for the prayer bombardment. We love you, Kathy!
Thank you.
Life is Good!
