Being a Buzzing Bee

In as much as I have been enjoying feeling the suns warm rays, smelling freshly cut grass and tasting things that only grow in the Spring, I have also been enjoying listening to the constant buzzzhmmbzz that looms around our flowering trees. In the past I would keep my distance from these buzzing trees however, now, I am finding myself quite enjoying a good sit under the petaled canopy to watch and listen to these wonderful little creatures. It is amazing to see them so busy at work, so focused on their mission. As I sit and watch these marvelous little creatures busy doing what work the Lord as put before them, it reminds me to be diligent in what work the Lord has put before me. The bumblebees fly past me at alarming speeds (reaching ground speeds of up to 33mph) all with the purpose of reaching their goal in a timely, efficient manor. Pondering these facts makes me question how quickly and efficiently I serve the Lord. Now I don't mean how fast I can do a physical deed, but more along the lines of how quickly I can turn a soft answer to someone or how quick I am to forgive. With quite a few buzzing trees on our property I am constantly reminded of what lessons I can learn from the bumblebees and how I should be a busy bee buzzing about the Lords work.
