Baby Red Tail Hawks

This is a nest of 2 baby Red Tail Hawks I've been watching.  They will leave the nest 6 weeks after hatching.  The first picture shows the baby on May 9th 2017.  The other
pictures are from Friday May 19th.   The one was practicing walking around the nest and trying out his wings and balance.  As you can see he falls over quite often but
gets back up and does it again.  (I'm surprised they don't fall out of the nest. )   I love the one which shows his tail.   I sat there for 3hrs and it rained some of the time which
is why the background is different.   Anyway I just thought this was a cute little picture story.  After they leave the nest Red Tail Hawks usually stay within 2 miles of where they were born.

from writer Paulo Coelho "You drown not by falling into a river, but by staying submerged in it."

The wise man in the storm prays to God, not for safety from danger, but for deliverance from fear. It is the storm within which endangers him, not the storm without."
Ralph Waldo Emerson


Today's thought from Hazelden is:

Pray to God but row to shore.
--Proverb

There exists a Divine partnership between God and man that is wonderfully depicted in the following story. A young minister was driving through the countryside when he spotted a farmer tilling 40 acres of magnificent farmland. The minister pulled over and addressed the farmer, "God has certainly blessed you with a wonderful piece of land." The farmer replied, "Yes, but you should have seen the mess it was in when God had it to Himself!"

A well-known entrepreneur was asked the secret of her business success. She answered, "I pray as if everything depends on God, but act as if everything depends on me." It is not enough just to pray for and affirm our good. Like the farmer and businesswoman, we must also take concrete steps to make our dreams a reality.

Working together, we and spirit form an unbeatable combination. Neither can succeed without the other. Just as nature provided the land but needed the farmer to till the soil, spirit needs us to bring about heaven on earth. Let us work together as Divine partners to fulfill this promise.
