G’day, mate! Mr. Nature here, somewhere in the suburbs in Australia, just in time for an early-morning fight between two male kangaroos.
These guys can get up to eight feet tall when they stand on their hind legs; and with the sturdy tail available as a third leg, they can kick with both hind legs at once. Meanwhile, they punch and scratch with their clawed forepaws.
I don’t see anybody running outside to break this up.
Why did God make kangaroos so fierce?
He didn’t. It’s the fallen world that made them fierce. And anyway, the occasional ferocity of male kangaroos in mating season hardly holds a candle to the ferocity of human beings toward one another.
God is at work, even now, to restore His creation to its original state of purity. We wonder why it’s taking Him so long.
But I know one thing for sure: I’d rather He did it than us.
To end the day’s blogging on a sweet note–
Is this piglet just about the cutest little character you’ve ever seen? Her mother rejected her, no one knows why, so the nice humans adopted her and she is now a house pig. She’s very affectionate, and has learned to ask the nice lady to open the door when she has to go outside to do her business. (The piglet, not the lady. Sorry if that sentence was confusing.)
God keeps giving us these teeny glimpses into Paradise. If only we would take Him up on what He offers us!
