The Oyster and The Eagle

Have you ever wondered why the United States of America has an EAGLE as our national symbol?

If you didn't know differently, right now you'd think the United States national symbol was the OYSTER.

                                                                         

An Oyster?  Let me explain......when God made the Oyster, He gave it a home, a hard shell to shelter it and protect it from its enemies.  He then put it in water.  Oysters thrive on sandy bottoms (instability)  Oysters just lay in the water and never have to make any decisions.  The currents move it about, so it doesn't have to plan.  No responsibilities.  Oysters require a flowing current to bring organic detritus (loose fragments or grains that worn away from rocks) to them on which to feed.  Whatever the waters provide, the Oyster receives.  When the Oyster wishes to eat it simply opens its shell.  The food material, without effort flows in.  The Oyster soon becomes, fat, dumb, and happy.  The Oyster plays it safe in life - stays in its comfort zone and accomplishes/achieves nothing.  The Oyster has a secured existence....controlled by the currents of the water.

                                                                                 

However, the Eagle, the national symbol of the United States of America has speed, strength, height and represents freedom.   When God made the Eagle, He gave it wings and the sky above.  God told the Eagle "the skies the limit".  The Eagle is able to soar to great heights and have a beautiful view of the world.  The Eagle pays a price for the benefits it has, by having to work, and fight for its survival.  The Eagle builds his own home and hunts his own prey.  No food comes to the Eagle.  It has no shelter.  It has to build its own nest.  And, to protect it from its enemies, the Eagle has to build its nest on the highest mountain.  By hunting its own food, the Eagle becomes powerful and self-reliant.  The Eagle is always in control, never controlled by others.

                                          America 
            be reminded - our national symbol is the Eagle.....
                               ....let's keep it that way!
                    Please help the American people to be Eagles 
                                      - not Oysters!
