There is something attractive, real attractive to the Brown– belted Bumblebee, 🐝 and that is something sticky, sweet, and something irresistible. NECTAR! “The clovers are calling and I must go” is the number one saying of the bumblebee! One look at the clover and they’re dive bombing it! We know that when bees receive nectar they get some thing else too — pollen! And when they travel to the next flower they carry the pollen with them as well. As they dive onto the next flower the the pollen immediately sticks onto the stigma! Sometime later, seeds are formed because the pollen was transferred from one flower to another. But there is a valuable lesson that we can learn from this. God has called us to be like bumblebees. He has a work for each one of us. First of all he wants us to get to know him. His word is like nectar. It is sweeter than honey from the honeycomb. It bring life to our souls. It makes us happy to know that we have a friend who forgives us. But when we come to get the nectar there’s something else we get — and that is the pollen. Pollen is like the seeds of truth which are found in the Bible. And wherever we go we carry the gospel with us. The bee dispersed the pollen as he traveled from flower to flower. Wherever we are we can always spread God’s love. It may even produce seeds. (Fruit) In the same way the flowers can produce good things like fruits or seeds so our characters produce good things. We can produce the Fruits of the Spirit! The fruits of the spirit are love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. (See Galatians 5:22,23) We should use every opportunity for good. “ In the morning sow you seed and in the evening do not withhold your hand; For you do not know which will prosper, either this or that, Or whether both alike will be good” (Ecclesiastes 11:6) We do not know who might be impacted by the seeds of truth that we have to share. That is why we share the love of God with all whom we come into contact with. Christ’s character can be shown in us by our words and unselfish actions. We can be humble like the bumblebees, faithfully doing the work that God has given us.

Ever green trees are great! They’re tall, majestic, and outstanding in the winter because they are the only thing that is green. God has called us to be ever green trees too. The world is like deciduous trees in the winter. It is dreary and dead. It has no life. But God came to give us life more abundantly! (See John 10:10) If we live in accordance to the word of God than we shall have life. Something green in the middle of a forest that is gray is attractive. That is why God has called is to be like well springs of water in the desert. When people come to us, we can point them to Jesus who is the way. Ever green trees are always green, not just for a time. So we should reflect Christ character all the time. But we must remember that we cannot be green on our own. It is God who gives us the sunshine and the rain that keeps us living! People around us will see how we are blessed and desire for themselves the goodness that God has given us. Psalm 1 says that we will be like a tree planted by the water who yields its fruit ( representing good works and character) in season. If you ask God, He will make you like an evergreen tree. If you any questions or comments about God, nature, or the Bible fill free to write me!

The Crane- fly orchid pictures are taken through a microscope. The pics are viewing the underside of a leaf. Numerous stomata are visible on the underside of the leaf. Stomata intake air and regulate transpiration (the removal of excess water from the leaves).By taking in air and sunlight, the leaves can provide important food and energy for the plant. Like plants, we too need air and sunshine. They are crucial for our survival. Spending time outside walking, running, and doing some other type of exercise is very good for our bodies. We take in air and sunshine. I encourage you to spend time outside this week to improve your health. But these lessons about stomata and taking air can be applied to other aspects of our life as well. If you want to live a happy, healthy life, then you need to be careful about what you take in to your brains. If you choose to spend time out in nature and studying the Bible, then you will have peace and be guilt free. But if you let TV and other amusements fill your life, then you will be unhappy.🥺 Take in what is good for your life and get rid of what is bad. Always remember this promise, “The LORD will guide you continually, and satisfy your soul in drought, and strengthen your bones; You shall be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail.” (Isaiah 58:11)
