THE BUZZARD, BAT & THE BUMBLEBEE( Not a Joke)
Vickie G. has deleted this message.
THE BUZZARD:
If you put a buzzard in a pen that is 6 feet by 8 feet and
is entirely open at the top, the bird, in spite of its ability to fly,
will be an absolute prisoner. The reason is that a buzzard always
begins a flight from the ground with a run of 10 to 12 feet. Without space
to run, as is its habit, it will not even attempt to fly, but will remain
a prisoner for life in a small jail with no top.
THE BAT:
The ordinary bat that flies around at night, a remarkable
nimble creature in the air, cannot take off from a level place. If
it is placed on the floor or flat ground, all it can do is shuffle about
helplessly and, no doubt, painfully, until it reaches some slight
elevation from which it can throw itself into the air. Then, at once, it
takes off like a flash.
THE BUMBLEBEE: A bumblebee, if dropped into an open tumbler, will be there until it dies, unless it is taken out. It never sees the means of escape at the top, but persists in trying to find some way out through the sides near the bottom. It will seek a way where none exists, until it completely destroys itself. PEOPLE: In many ways, we are like the buzzard, the bat, and the bumblebee. We struggle about with all our problems and frustrations, never realizing that all we have to do is look up! Sorrow looks back, Worry looks around, But faith looks up! Live simply, love generously, care deeply, speak kindly and trust in our Creator who loves us.
