"I now know why my mom loved Eagles so much & collected them" (from her son Tracy) Having "wings as eagles" helps us: Rise toward the heavens. When we "wait upon the Lord" by patiently trusting in Him and keeping our covenants, He blesses us with His divine help. In His strength we are lifted up so that we can receive "peace in this world, and eternal life in the world to come" (D&C 59:23)
