I had cut limbs and bushes and out of the way and yet there was one area where I had to navigate around several tree-laps and weeds. I could have gone another way but this seemed to be the best direction if I was to leave the smallest footprint. The problem was not maneuvering the fallen trees; it was dodging those little cockleburs that attached themselves to my clothes. Every morning, while watching deer, I found myself picking off burr after burr without ever getting them all. One evening, after a hunt, I had the great idea of just putting the infested clothing in the wash and letting an agitator get rid of my agitation. It didn't work. Those little things hung on like a kid at a water park. They say these were the inspiration behind Velcro. I can't help but believe this to be true. When you think about the real reason for these clingers, it is pretty simple to under- stand. This is the way these nasty weeds spread to other areas. They produce a seed (the cocklebur). And when some animal comes by; the seed attaches itself to the fur and is carried away to another area. The burr is then picked off and left to germinate – if it has attached itself to the right source that is. Otherwise, as I later found out, the seed just remains on the source and ultimately dries up, dies, and then is easily brushed off. The moral of the story??? Be careful, what or who, you attach yourself to. As I look toward a new year, I want to be reminded of this lesson. I want to be at- tached to the things that will help me be the most fruitful. Not that it is all about me, but it's about being all that God made me to be. It's about reaching my full potential. It's about getting the most out of my gifts and talents. And in order to do that, I must continually attach myself to the things God has placed there just for me. Sometimes that means I must say no to really good things in order for me to focus on what I have been called to do. But there is one thing that I always need to remember – the goal or the accomplish- ment is not the end; it is the means to an end. The end is always the people that God puts in my life. My gifts, talents and resourc- es are not meant for my enjoyment, but for my employment. I am to employ them in the lives of people. For without people, I would be like a cocklebur seed that's only along for the ride. www outdoortruths.or www..outdoortruths.org BROYHILL GOLDEN OAK an- tique reproduction Queen bed- room suite + new Sealy Pos- turpedic mattress. 5 pieces + mattress & box springs.
