Greatness Comes In Small Packages Too

Greatness Comes In Small Packages Too

Oftentimes one is judge by its size and/or appearance. Some are quick to draw conclusion about another’s strengths, capabilities, or weaknesses simply based on one’s size.

One of the most amazing and beautiful creatures is that of the hummingbird. It is the smallest of all birds and the smallest animal having a backbone. The average size of a hummingbird is less than 4inches long. The first thing that most people say when witnessing a hummingbird, “Oh it is so small.”

How does the hummingbird compare to all other birds? The humming bird stands independently and confidently in its uniqueness. It doesn’t feel the need to compete or compare itself to other birds.

The humming bird can beat its wings up to 80 times per second during normal flight and 200 times per second during a courtship dive!! The humming bird is small and powerful.

Interestingly, because the humming bird can rotate their wings in a circle, they are the only birds that can fly backwards, forwards, up, down, sideways, and hover in mid air.

The humming bird teaches humans a great lesson. Love yourself exactly as God created you, because you are unique and greatness is in the inside of you too.
