Betty stopped next to the exhibit.
" Daddy, we see that bird at the big park".
" You've seen a hawk at your house?".
" We have a large park behind our house and we have seen a couple hawks flying around the trees".
One of the girls smiled. " We go there when we walk Smokey".
" Smokey?".
The mother smiled. " That's the name of our dog".
Betty smiled. " The hawk is mentioned several times in the bible".
" Look at his wings!".
" The hawk is a bird of prey and it's wingspan can reach two feet".
" What bible verses talk about this bird?".
" Job 39:26 and numerous verses in the book of Isaiah".
" What else can you tell us about it?".
Betty grinned. " It eats mice, insects and small birds and in the Old Testament was considered an unclean bird".
