Camels
A mama camel and her baby camel are talking one day when the little one ask, " Mum, Why I havegot these 3 toed feets?"
Mama Camel replies, Well my little camel, when wetrek accross the dessert your toe will help you stayon top of the sand so that it will prevent you fromsinking.
I see! said the little camel.
A few moments later, the little camel ask, Mum,Why I have these lovely long eye-lashes?"
Mama camel replies, they are there to keep the sand out ofyour eyes on the long journey through the hot dessert.
Thats wonderful Mum, replies the little camel.
A short while later the little camel asks again , Mum,Why I have got these great humps on my back?
Mama Camel replies, Oh, they are there to help youstore water for our long journey accross the dessertso we can go without drinking water for very longperiods.
Wow!! That great, replies the little camel. We havegreat feet to stop us from sinking into the sand, longeyes-lashes to keep the sand from entering our eyesand the humps to store water, BUT Mum !!!
Yes, my little camel? replies Mama camel.
BUT THEN,"WHAT ARE WE DOING IN THE ZOO??"
*******************************************************
The feet, eyes lashes and the hump of a camel were created for travelling in the desert. That is the purpose of these of that which they were given to the camel. Being stranded in the zoo these were not no longer really needed and fulfill their purpose.
How about us? We don't have big feet (or maybe some does) the long eye lashes and hump, but we were created to trust and obey God. And He wants us to be witnesses for Him. If we are not, then what is?
Are we in the zoo? or are we suppose to be out there....
praise the Lord
