Over the weekend, there were two things that made me observe the Master design in nature. On both occasions I was riding in the car with Bob. On Saturday, we were talking about bees. It actually came from driving by a sign that said something about "the birds and the bees." Isn't it amazing that the flowers and bees have a symbiotic relationship? The bees get nectar from the flowers to make honey. (They are so good at making honey - they make enough for us to steal from them.) Then the bees inadvertently pick up pollen from the flowers and carry it to the next flower. I'm no horticulturist, but from what I understand, cross-pollination is an important job for these little guys. Things like that don't just happen. God designed it.
The other "little thing" Bob and I discussed about God's design in nature... I was peeling an orange for him while he was driving us to church. He commented that fruit is such an interesting creation. It comes in packages for us. "Take oranges for example," he said. "After you peel the package off, it divides into bite-sized pieces." We talked about other similar food - apples, bananas, nuts... The nuts are a little harder to open, but they are ideal for squirrels to store for the winter, and God gave the squirrels those teeth that are so good for nut opening. Remarkable.
