Filed Under Devotion | Leave a Comment
One of the most powerful sights in nature is when a mother eagle will literally wrap her wings completely around her young to protect them and to keep them warm. It’s a touching and beautiful sight; imagine the comfort of baby eagles knowing that the mother eagle is protecting them like that.
