You think you are the only one who works hard?

So you worked hard today to provide food and shelter for the family? You aren't the only one who works hard! Consider the spider and how hard it works to get its food for the day, spinning webs of silk, an engineering feat! The following quote shows what a remarkable little creature the spider can be.

"So why do spiders spin webs? When you need food, you go to the grocery store. When a spider is hungry, it heads to the web. The main reason spiders spin webs is to catch their dinner. When an insect, such as a fly, flies into a spider's web, it gets stuck on the sticky threads."

"Instead of boards, spiders produce silk threads to build their webs. The silk is produced in silk glands with the help of the spider's spinnerets. Spinnerets are special organs that allow the spider to decide what type of thread it needs for the web." - https://wonderopolis.org/wonder/why-do-spiders-spin-webs

Point to ponder - so that little tiny spider is able to make such wise decisions, able to decide what type of thread it needs? Where did it get such wisdom? Too often we are more than willing to give credit to the creature, but fail to consider that wisdom doesn't come from blind chance. Could it be that it had a Creator?

And it didn't even need to go to school. Or maybe it did and nobody saw it there. Did you?

Such a beautiful setting for all these fine webs - and you've captured it all with that marvelous backlighting. Great job, Vern! Thank you too for your thoughtful and inspiring words too.
