#20 Scout Ants

I was privileged to speak to a couple of groups of people this week and part of my presentation was the Boy Scout Law. With all their controversy in the past months they have got a lot of things right for a long time! Imagine if each of us got up every day looked  in the mirror and recited the following

 "I will be .........

• Trustworthy,
• Loyal,
• Helpful,
• Friendly,
• Courteous,
• Kind,
• Obedient,
• Cheerful,
• Thrifty,
• Brave,
• Clean,
• and Reverent.

Proverbs 6

6 Go to the ant, you lazybones;
    consider its ways, and be wise.
7 Without having any chief
    or officer or ruler,
8 it prepares its food in summer,
    and gathers its sustenance in harvest.
9 How long will you lie there, O lazybones?
    When will you rise from your sleep?
10 A little sleep, a little slumber,
    a little folding of the hands to rest,
11 and poverty will come upon you like a robber,
    and want, like an armed warrior.
