Courage

Posted by Picasa
Do you have the courage of a hummingbird?

Reportedly, the speedy flickers have scared off eagles from devastating their nests. How the little twitters could send a proportionately monstrous bird like an eagle in the other direction sounds incredulous, but it has happened.

Patricia Upczak, in her article, “Joyful courage,” gives several examples of courage in action that changed the world. She points out that courage is not according to worldly position, stature, or prominence, but according to joyful delight in living a life of integrity.

With the many injustices facing the world today, we all could benefit from mustering more courage of the right sort to face down evil.

Take a look. I’ll think you’ll enjoy her examples of courage in action.

Moral courage is requisite to meet the wrong and to proclaim the right.” Mary Baker Eddy
