Lessons from the Decorah Eagles: Watching for Our Lord

Revelation 1:7 Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. Even so, Amen.

 Mark 13:26 "Then they will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.


I was watching the eagles one day when I heard the flapping of large wings near the camera and the mom and two of the babies immediately perked up and began to stare somewhere above the camera.  If you click on each of the pictures they will enlarge in a separate window and you can see the two babies looking toward the camera.  They knew their Daddy was near by and they eagerly watched him.

As I watch the babies in the nest when the mom and dad are away, I can often tell when one of the parents is coming.  The babies' heads will pop up and they watch with eagerness and follow Mom or Dad with their eyes.  

One day our Lord will return in the clouds with great glory.  Are we watching eagerly for His return?
