ants

"Mom! I'm doing what the Bible says to do! I'm looking at the ants!" That's what my little Ruthie said to me the other day while we were playing outside. We're going through Proverbs together this summer and we'd just read Proverbs 6:6.

6 Take a lesson from the ants, you lazybones.
Learn from their ways and become wise!
7 Though they have no prince
or governor or ruler to make them work,
8 they labor hard all summer,
gathering food for the winter.

So after we talked about looking to the ant to learn a lesson about working hard... Ruth did just what she was told - and looked at the ants!
