THE BUZZARD, THE BAT & THE BEE ...

[GySgt Bob Pinkstaff USMC Retired]

Just received this from a Marine I served with in Korea.

Just have this to add ... 'GOD HELPS HIM WHO HELPS HIMSELF.'

TheBUZZARD:


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 and trust in our Creator who loves us.
