Birds and Wings

An old legend says that God first created birds without wings. Sometime later, God made wings and said to the birds, "Come, take up these burdens and bear them." The birds hesitated at first, but soon obeyed. They tried picking up the wings in their beaks, but found them too heavy. Then they tried picking them up wit their claws, but found them too large. Finally one of the birds managed to get the wings hoisted onto its shoulders where it was possible to carry them.

To the amazement of the birds, before long the wings began to grow and they soon had attached themselves to the bodies of the birds. One of the birds began to flap his wings and others followed his example. Shortly afterwards, one of the birds took off and began to soar in the air above.

What had once been a heavy burden now became the very thing that enabled the birds to go where they could never go before...and at the same time, truly fulfill the destiny of their creation. The duties and responsibilities you count as burdens today may be part of God's destiny for your life, the means by which your soul is lifted up and prepared for eternity.

Don't be afraid of pressure. Remember that pressure is what turns a lump of coal into a diamond. You know the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. James 1:3,4

Don't

* Don’t undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different that each of us is special.

* Don’t set your goals by what other people deem important. Only you know what is best for you.

* Don’t take for granted the things closest to your heart. Cling to them as you would your life, for without them, life is meaningless.

* Don’t let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future. By living your life one day at a time, you live ALL the days of your life.

* Don’t give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.

* Don’t be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect. It is this fragile thread that binds us each together.

* Don’t be afraid to encounter risks. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.

* Don’t shut love out of your life by saying it’s impossible to find. The quickest way to receive love is to give; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly; and the best way to keep love is to give it wings.

* Don’t run through life so fast that you forget not only where you’ve been, but also where you are going.

* Don’t forget that a person’s greatest emotional need is to feel appreciated.

* Don’t be afraid to learn. Knowledge is weightless, a treasure you can always carry easily.

* Don’t use time or words carelessly. Neither can be retrieved. Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the way.
