Parts of Alaska's ice was thawing. large chunks of ice flowed on the river toward a large waterfall.
Above a Bald eagle was encircling. Its sharp eyesight spied a dead carrion on a block of ice.
Down it swept an sunk it's powerful talons( ten times greater than humans) into the prey and began to satisfy it's hunger.
With the waterfall near, the freezing spray increased to shower the eagle, it continued to enjoy the food. With one eye on the food and one on the approaching edge it spread it's large powerful wings to take off to freedom.......but it discovered that the spray had covered it's talons and frozen them to the ice.
"More is not always the best"
I suggest that we are living in one of the most dissatisfied cultures on record. It's not that having lots of things is bad or harmful, it's that our desire to have more is or can be insatiable.
As long as we think more will be better, we will never be satisfied.
This crushes our appreciation for life and for our many blessings.
Develop a new appreciation for the blessings you already enjoy.You can spend your life wanting more, always chasing happiness.
"Count your blessings,name them one by one and it will surprise you what the Lord has done"
