Silke's chicks

We just got three chicks last Saturday. They are some of the most adorable creatures on earth. But I guess all baby animals are super cute. We have them in a big cardboard box upstairs in our dining room, because we have to make sure that the dog doesn't get them. We love our dog but for some reason he doesn't know the difference between birds, such as ducks and geese, that we want him to retrieve and birds, like our chicks and chicken, which we love and which are not to be retrieved at all times ;-) . But anyway back to our chicks now. The other night we had them out of the box, running around on the table. It is just so much fun to watch them. We got them their little cup with water and another one with their feed. But what is that with them? They had to be at exactly the same spot at their feeder. Three chicks, a big enough bowl of feed for all of them with ample of space. But for some reason they needed exactly the same spot. Funny and stupid chicks I thought. There was so much feed, plenty for all of them but they were just looking for the things the others had. Well you probably know were I am going with my thoughts. It really made me thinking of us humans. Don't we often do exactly the same thing? Looking at what other people have; wanting to have exactly the same and missing out on the things God has placed right there for us. Well, you got me thinking there too. When I saw those chicks pushing and kicking each other away just to get what the others have made me smile. They are just stupid chicks. But reminding myself of not doing the same thing is kind of really hard at times. How about you?
Well I guess, good thing God placed those chicks in my life.  And don't get me wrong, I really love my chicks :-)
