BUZZARD If you put a buzzard in a pen that is 6' x 8' 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 10-12'. 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.
BAT
The ordinary bat that flies around at night, a remarkably 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 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.
BUMBLEBEE
A bumblebee, if dropped into an open tumbler, will be there until it dies,
Unless it is taken out. ! It neve R 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.

RE: Buzzards, Bats, Bumblebees & People
Yeah Reb .... that is so true .... my Preacher read that one time ... He is the answer to all .....
.... turn your eyes upon Jesus, look full in His wonderful face, and the things of earth will grow strangely dim, in the light of His glory and grace.
