On Eagle's Wings (07.03.2010)
Date: July 3, 2010
In June 2002, my two older sons were riding in a car when the driver missed the curve and ran off the road . My oldest son, a 28 year old named Doug, was in the passenger seat, and my second son Daryn was in the backseat. At 3 in the morning our friend, the coroner, and two other neighbors appeared in our bedroom to tell us that our oldest son had been killed and our other son had been taken by helicopter to the hospital. The next few days were hell. Daryn was bruised, had a concussion and needed surgery for a broken jaw, but was released from the hospital after three days. Five days later, nearly a thousand people attended the funeral where Doug’s best friend sang "I will lift you up on Eagle's Wings" That night, as our family was left alone for the first time all I could think of was that I needed to know that Doug was safe with God. I repeatedly heard the words of the song " And I will lift you up on Eagles' Wings " I could not get that song out of my mind and was thinking about it when my husband and Chad left to run an errand. About 10 minutes later I could hear Chad's voice saying "Mom, you should have seen what we just saw" He explained that when him and my husband came out of the store, a couple of ladies were standing in the parking lot looking up into the sky . The ladies pointed to an image that looked like a man laying on a bed with a large eagle over it. I was instantly shocked, this was not my interpretation of the clouds , it was not my husband's or son's interpretation of the clouds . Noone but me knew what had kept me awake all night. I have no doubt that God was winking down on me . He was sending me the reassurance that I had prayed for. At that moment I was sure that God had taken my son Doug home to be with him. Any doubts I had were erased. Marcie |
