Original Blog Entry: The buzzard, the bat & 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 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.

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.
