Go To the Ant

God can use the smallest of His creation to teach us BIG lessons.

Go to the ant, you sluggard. Consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest. (Proverbs 6:6-8).

Are you planning a summer cookout? What are you taking? Farm fresh, juicy, sweet watermelons? Cantaloupes? Berries? Peaches? How about grilled corn on the cob? Perhaps … I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream?

Did you pack the ants? No? And yet they arrived!

You won’t need to bring ants. Ants invite themselves and bring friends. They eat outdoors on the blankets, tables, lawn chairs. More than eating, they work tirelessly gathering your leftovers and preparing for winter FEASTS.

If ants had bones, you wouldn’t find one lazy bone

*READ as much as you can find about ants!

*WRITE and illustrate your story of how the ants view this lunchtime. Ask yourself: “What are ants thinking?”
