Eagle Eyes

 We feel so blessed today!  A fellow eagle came to visit us at our Eagles Nest today!   I looked up at the trees and there He goes flying down beside our driveway.  Then He landed in a tree and posed for a few pictures.

       The old mother eagle flew by, and she looked down, and she saw her child. And she screamed. And when she screamed, he understood that language. She screamed, "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever."
That little eagle said, "That sounds right."
She come back across again; she said, "Son, you're not a chicken; you're mine." I'm so glad. Hallelujah! "You're my child. You don't belong among them chickens." She looks again, "Could I be mistaken? I'll test him." God always tests His children by the Word. And she screams back, and she said, "If you are an eagle and you believe..."
"How do I get out of here, mama?"
"Only thing you do is just jump, and start flapping your little wings; they'll pack you." Jump, run towards the altar and flap that little faith you got a little bit. See what it'll do for you. If you're sickly in there dying, just make a run towards Calvary. Use that faith you got. Watch what happens?

Visitors at Eagles Nest

When we came home from church today, there were visitors waiting for us on the back patio.  They were pecking on the glass, stretchin their necks, and lookin all around.  So we fed them some dinner and they decided to stick around.  They are now sleeping on the roof.  Do they think this  house is the Red Roof Inn?  hmmm

Here they are peckin out, I mean checkin out, the premises trying to decide if they want to spend the night.

Aren't they pretty?

They really liked Faith!  Especially when she brought out some popcorn!

Doing some visitin'.....

Yeah, there I am feeding the critters....they didn't know I was thinking about smoked turkey......hehe

Soon as it got dusk, we heard a commotion out there; some thumping, sliding, flapping, and a few frantic gobbles.  The turkeys were just finding a comfortable spot to sleep for the night.  The perfect accommodations at the Eagles Nest.

So I went out the front door to take a picture of my star in the snow, and suddenly a bird flew out of my door wreath and brushed the side of my head as it flew away into the woods!  Needless to say, I was pretty shook up!

        So a few days... How I've watched them so many times. A few days before the nest-stirring time comes, the old mother eagle would get up there on the side of that nest. I've laid a many a day in the warm sunshine watching them and just cry like a baby. See that big mother eagle, they're large. The mother eagle's bigger than the father eagle. Some of their wings spread fourteen feet from tip to tip.

And she'll get up there; she'll strut around over that nest like that, and she'll go up to these little ones; she'll spread her great big wings and scream. And when she does, sometimes the little eagles will fall on their backs. She wants them to. That's what she wants them to do. Then they'll get up. And she'll scream. Why? She's training them to her voice.

"And My sheep know My voice." She wants them to know what it is when "screaming-time" comes. And she's screaming. Oh, my. "I want you to catch every note of my voice," she says. "Because there's a lot of scavengers. I want you to know you're eagles. And I want you to know eagle voice." Amen. Hallelujah. "I want you to know what a eagle sound is. And then she spreads her great wing, said, "Looky here, I'm fixing to give you your first solo flight. But first I want you to look how big I am."

Oh, how sweet it is. Maybe sometimes sickness knocks us on our back, maybe something else, when we can look up and take them two big Wings of Jehovah, the Old and New Testament, and say, "How great Thou art, how great Thou art, Lord."  Bro. Branham 60-0403

Lookin' Through the Trees

When we look through our trees here at the Eagle's Nest, we see many different things.  Look through the trees with us and see what we see.

Sunset from our front door:

The neighbor getting in the last field of corn....

Faith looks through the trees and watches the softball game at the neighboring Mennonite school.

While walking through the trees to get the mail, I spotted these beautiful bovines roaming around...

Another sunset from the front door....

Little eagle learning to fly.....

Faith was looking at us building a rafter for our shed....:o)

These hunters are going to look through some trees for some deer!

Interesting facts about eagles from Bro. Branham:
    And how the trees different from each other. I've watch the bird life, and the animal life, and seen them how they would live and how that God cared for them.
Then I went to studying the eagle. And I learned that there's forty different kinds of eagles. Many of them... The word "eagle" means a "tearer with the bill." And learning that there's forty different types of eagles...
And the eagle is not a vulture. He kills his meat. He eats own prey. Bro. Branham 59-0815

Birds of a Feather.......

It all started with a turtledove.......
then the news spread that the eagles had food to share.  Soon there were several kinds of bird friends enjoying the feast.
At least this dove was nice enough to bow her head, close her eyes,  and give thanks for the food.....

See the woodpecker peeking around the corner in the picture below?.....

The nuthatches grab some seeds and places them in the bark of the tree before eating them.

When Mr. Blue Jay showed up everyone flew the coop.

We had made some feeders by smearing peanut butter on pine cones and rolling them in bird seed then we hung them by wire from branches....they were supposed to be for our bird friends....
Suddenly, someone thought he would join the party.....what they won't do to eat.  Can you imagine hanging by your toes upside down to eat? 

Or the sideways trick.....

 
Our future chicken house....
