Bee Butts and God


"The world is charged with the grandeur of God."
~Gerard Manley Hopkins

This morning I watched through my patio doors, a big 'ol yellow and black bumblebee flit from planter to planter on my deck. I have several pots of the smaller sized wave petunias out there. I got the biggest kick watching him/her trying to fit into the petunias. It reminded me alot of me trying to fit into last summers capris. On occasion he would find a flower that he could get into...with his little bee butt the only thing left of him that you could see. It made me laugh and think of God, who gives good gifts if we would just stop long enough to see.
