Have you ever taken a moment to sit and watch an ant? Although they are quite small, they really are mighty. They are diligent, hardworking, and definite team players. Have you ever seen an ant (that wasn't dead) not moving? I didn't think so.
Ants are inspirational. Why? You may ask. They work together for a greater good. Those mounds with all the tunnels and stockpiles of food, do you think that just happens on its own? No way! Ants know who has what job and they complete it.
Teamwork is the best word I could use to describe how ants come together. Army ants for example, come together to take down larger creatures such as bigger bugs, snakes, and even mammals! Don't believe me? Check this out: Army Ants Eat Everything - NatGeo.
Ants not only come together for food, but they also unite for survival. Fire ants actual create a floating colony raft to save the whole group when there is a flood. Living in Florida, I can attest that fire ants are my least favorite bug because of their painful and itchy bite, but I can also admire their dedication: Fire Ants Make Living Raft - NatGeo.
So what is all this talk about ants? You might wonder. I feel that if we as a country- as a world even- came together as the ants do, we would have a much more enjoyable life. Spreading love and helping those in need. That is what Jesus would want us to do. "Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God." 1 John 4:7.
