Tim and I were walking through the parking lot of Wal-Mart this morning.
We saw a woman, pictured in this photo, standing beside her car looking up in
the sky. We continued walking. Then a shadow briefly blocked out the sun. We
stopped, tilted our heads back, looked towards the sky and shielded the sun
from our eyes with our hands.
Directly above us were three huge birds riding the thermal, soaring higher
and higher. They were flying in a circle with two of the birds flying
counterclockwise and one flying clockwise. It looked like they were going to
crash into each other.
The woman walked over to us and said, “I have lived here eight years and
have never seen a bald eagle. My friends can’t believe I haven’t seen one.”
Today’s gift was to say to the woman, “Now you can say you’ve seen not
just one bald eagle, but three bald eagles—two adults and one juvenile.”
She said, “I can’t believe that’s what it is. Thank you so much for
showing it to me!”
As we drove away she was mesmerized and still staring toward the sky. She
knew now that it wasn’t a plane or Superman and not just any bird—she had
finally seen a majestic bald eagle.
In Giving,
Robin
