Spiritual Thoughts

Friday Tale: The Bumblebee D id you know that according to a theory of aerodynamics that the bumblebee should be unable to fly? The bumblebee's size, weight, and shape of its body, in relationship to its total wing span, flying is technically impossible. The bumblebee, being ignorant of the technical theory, goes on and flies anyway and makes honey every day. You and I need to take a few lessons from the bumblebee. First of all, if the bumblebee were to look at its size, it would say "My body is too big for my wings, for that reason I am not able to fly." If it looked at its weight, it would say, "I'm too heavy, it is impossible for my wings to create enough lift for me to do the job I was created to do." If it looked at the contour of its body it would say "Forget it, it is scientifically impossible for me to do this." My friend, the bumblebee is totally unaware of the impossibilities that say it can't do what it does,

Y ou build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, BUT you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space. ~ Johnny Cash  I can do all things through Him  who strengthens me.  ~ Philippians 4:13

T he best that the great teachers can do for us is to help us to discover what is already present in ourselves. ~ Irving Babbitt  L earn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression, bring justice to the fatherless, plead the widow's cause.  ~ Isaiah 1:17
