An interesting thought of the day

[Guest guest]

One morning I wasted nearly an hour watching a tiny ant carry a huge feather

Cross my back terrace. Several times it was confronted by obstacles in its Path

and after a momentary pause it would make the necessary detour. At one point the

ant had to negotiate a crack in the concrete about 10mm wide. After brief

contemplation the ant laid the feather over the crack, Walked across it and

picked up the feather on the other side then continued on its way. I was

fascinated by the ingenuity of this ant, one of God's smallest creatures. It

served to reinforce the miracle of creation. Here was a minute insect, lacking

in size yet equipped with a brain to reason,

ant, like the two-legged co-residents of this planet, also shares human

failings. After some time the ant finally reached its destination - a flower

bed at the end of the terrace and a small hole that was the entrance to its

underground home. And it was here that the ant finally met its match. How could

that large feather possibly fit down small hole? Of course it couldn't. So the

ant, after all this trouble and exercising great ingenuity, Overcoming problems

all along the way just abandoned the feather and went home. The ant had not

thought the problem through before it began its epic journey And in the end the

feather was nothing more than a burden.

Isn't OUR LIFE like that?

We worry about our family; we worry about money or the lack of it, We worry

about work, about where we live, about all sorts of things. These are all

burdens - the things we pick up along life's path and lug them around the

Obstacles and over the crevasses that life will bring, Only to find that at the

destination they are useless and we can't take them
