As far as I can tell, Swans are not mentioned in the Bible. Eagles, on the other hand, managed to poke their heads in there quite often. I'm not sure why. Swans are beautiful, graceful, calm, and they don't eat people's pets. Eagles, on the other hand think nothing about swooping down and scarfing up any innocent creature in their line of vision (I'm not bitter)! Why does the Eagle get all the glory? Sometimes that's the way it is. The loud, pushy, vain, self absorbed creatures crave the spotlight, while the quiet, humble, hardworking creatures are content to be behind the scenes.
We were recently honored with a visit from
four of the beautiful, shy birds.
The Canadian geese, lined up in the
background, were NOT happy to see them.
The geese made lots of noise!
The Swans decided they weren't welcome.
I'm not sure where they went,
but I hope they come back, geese or not.
Darn geese, can't even get their "V" straight!
Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.
Matthew 5:5
