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...
Sorrow looks back,
and trust in our
Creator,
who loves
us.
Share this with a friend...
I just did.
Have a good day!
