I am astounded at creation. After a vacation full of rainforest adventures, I have been exposed to more of God’s creativity than I have ever known. If you have kids looking for a science project… leaf cutters ants. Amazing. Seriously. These little guys go to the tops of trees and cut little pieces of leaves off at a time, take them back to their nests and mix them with other stuff to grow a fungus that they eat. But first the leaves get checked by the blind inspectors to make sure they don’t fly larvae or something harmful on them. Then the clear out passageways one little speck of dirt at a time. And all this is necessary b/c otherwise the top canopy layer would be too thick with leaves and the plants underneath wouldn't get enough water and sun. What?!? That’s awesome.
There are so many relationships within creation that God imagined and spoke into being. I’m amazed. And I’m amazed at His creativity with so many animals, big ones like humpback whales, ugly ones like porcupines, and tiny ones like blue jean dart frogs. They all have a purpose are so unique. You could study animals for your whole life and not know them all about all of them. And with His words God spoke them into being.
Awesome.
Nothing like Costa Rica to cause you to marvel at His beautiful handiwork. What a beautiful country. :)
ReplyDeleteHave you ever thought about how long it must have taken for Adam to name all the animals??
ReplyDeleteit's only cool until they try and decimate your entire tree in the back yard after they decimated two other trees in your back yard. I still think they are pretty cool, just NOT in MY yard :-) You can see all their little pieces they bit out of my leaves...sigh...But they are still pretty amazing!
