Flying

[2tiredmom]

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.
>
> 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, 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.
>
> 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. 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.
