Yea so i got this a while back from a lady on our Mexico team. She was checking her e-mail on the bus and showed it to me so i asked her to send it to me! Anyway, she did and i sent it to some people but i think it's blog-able! hahaha!! So yea...READ IT...ALL OF IT!!! and then tell me what ya think! So...yea...it's called "The Buzzard, The Bat, and The Bumblebee."
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 aflight 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 itcompletely destroys itself.
PEOPLE: In many ways, we are like the buzzard, the bat, and the
bumblebee. We struggle about with all our proble ms
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.
