Look Up...

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.
