"Is there really enough to go around?"

 We love feeding hummingbirds at our farm. There are so many now that drink from our feeders and the many flowers we grow.

I love watching the hummingbirds as they buzz and hover, bombard and harass each other around the feeders; each one jockeying for the best position on the feeder. But recently, there was one male who was determined to be the only bird to drink from the feeder.

As other little birds buzzed up, he squawked and flew straight at them, chasing them away. And as he chased one, another bird came up from a different direction. And as he chased the second one off, a third one hovered nearby, until he was trying to chase away about a dozen different hummingbirds.  

Of course, he couldn’t. Try as he did, there was always some bird drinking on his feeder, doing what he didn’t get to do because he was too busy fighting the others off.

Are you too busy fighting others to enjoy life? God gives us all enough to go around. So relax, and make a life, not just a living today.
