How often hath he covered us in the time of danger and fed us as the eagle her young from birth to this day. Now, then, let us cast both soul and body on his love. For observe the next word: Taketh them, beareth them, on her wings. The saviour hath indeed taken us, taken all our burden, for he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows. He bears us on the wings of love - in every sense!
~ Mary Bosanquet Fletcher, 18th century Methodist preacher, comparing God/Jesus to a mother eagle
