Since childhood flight has always fascinated me. Dreams of dueling it with the Red Barron in my biplane later morphed into Top Gun in my F/A-18 Super Hornet zooming through the skies blasting enemy pilots.
My pilot dreams met reality in the USMC troubleshooting electronics aboard lumbering helicopters, and being awarded hearing aids for my hearing loss 🦻
Birds are the masters of the air. Watching them effortlessly soar on thermals; gracefully dodging trees as they zip through the forest; or suddenly diving on their prey, I’m captivated in wondrous admiration.
Perhaps a recent proliferation of furry squirrels . . . a 5* hawk delicacy 😋. . . may have been a selling point for a pair of Broad-tailed hawks choosing to take up residence here. Yesterday I spooked them perched by the birdbath lurking in ambush for Skippy 🐿️. The gamecam captured them taking flight, and had me wishing I could skedaddle like that . . . but I’ll pass on squirrel stew 🤮
Here’s a short vid-clip of our new feathered couple, and sequential pics of their departure flight from ole Freddy👴. . . yet another of His amazing creations . . . the hawks, not me😊
“Look at the birds of the air; they do now sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them.”
Matthew 6:26
My pilot dreams never came to fruition. However, I rest content knowing someday, like the Broad-tailed hawks, I too will take flight and,
“… be caught up together with them in clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be forever with the Lord forever.”
I Thessalonians 4:17
Now that’s a flight with a John 3:16 pass you definitely don’t want to miss!
Keep Looking Up ^ . . . His Best is Yet to Come!
