What wonderful wings!

I was reading Janina Gomes who writes:

How did birds get their wings?...

God said to them: "Come take up these burdens and bear them".

The birds hesitated at first... however taking up the wings in their beaks, they laid them on their shoulders to carry them...Soon they discovered how to use their wings and were lifted by them up into the air. The weights became wings.

...and so it is with weights and burdens that we carry through life...they become the pinions God has made to lift us up..."
