Talk about warm fuzzies... I just helped this cute baby koala. When I saw it, it was on a smallish tree, separated from its Mum, which was high above in another tree. After checking me out for a while, it clambered down near the bottom of the tree and then jumped off.
Baby K found the right tree but there was an obstacle, namely a wide plastic barrier. They actually put these barriers around most of the trees in the picnic area so the koalas won't eat all the leaves. Baby K couldn't get a grip on the plastic. There was no way it could climb this tree. But Mum K was already in the tree so I picked the cuddly little Baby K up and lifted it above the plastic barrier. At first, it let out a blood-curdling scream of distress but it seemed to realize quickly enough that I had actually helped it.Mum K descended from her lofty position in record time and leaped across to join Baby K on its branch. By the time I left, Baby K was securely resting on Mum K's back and they safely climbed back up to safety.
God calls us to a life of good works, not to earn salvation (which would be impossible) but to reveal His love and goodness. And doesn't this world need plenty of that!
