Look Up

What We can Learn from

Buzzards, Bats and Bees?

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!

That’s the answer, the escape route and the solution to any problem…

Just Look Up!

““Now when these things begin to take place, stand up and Lift Up your heads, because your deliverance is approaching.”

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.

 He’s Only A prayer Away!
