{Animals and Humans}

Watching the movie LIFE and Planet Earth has just floored me. I LOVE watching animals, how they work, their PURPOSE in this life, the complexity and details of each thing down from a parasite all the way to a human.

Every single bug and Animal in this life has one purpose....multipy and replenish the earth. Their only goal in this life is to CREATE new life. It's amazing. They aren't exactly like us in the way that we stay together as family. OFten times they find the RIGHT person to create babies with and then the mom is left to care for the young until they are old enough and then they move on. The dad is often never around.

The male bug, animal, mammal is the one who is always trying to impress the female. The males ALWAYS fight for the female. They male and female spend a few seconds mating to create their babies and then they have fulfilled their purpose. Locust come out of the ground, and only survive for a few days. And all they try to accomplish in those few days is mating. Their only goal for living is creating babies... BUT

fish will stay together and help each other take care of the eggs. There is a frog, a MALE, that takes care of NOT ONLY his offspring, but many other offspring so that the other frogs can go out and find food or do whatever they want to do. You will find sometimes that the male is the one who is responsible, but majority of the time that isn't the case.

I am so intrigued by ONE particular mollusk(cephalopod)....the octopus. She will mate, and then she will go find a place in between rocks, in crevasses in the ocean, to plant her eggs. She plants all her eggs and she then spends SIX whole months staying with her eggs caressing them and making sure they are getting the right amount of care and water flow. She DOESN'T leave the crevasse or the eggs for SIX months. Which means she doesn't eat for 6 months. And right when her babies are about to hatch, she dies. She gives her life to create babies. It's amazing. The ultimate sacrifice.

So, in all this i can see how it's not just in OUR nature to create life, BUT it's in every living things nature to create life. It's every living creatures PURPOSE...to multiply and replenish the earth. Our purpose goes a little deeper than animals and bugs. Animals and bugs are so focused on creating life. That's their purpose. Not only is it in our nature to CREATE life, but to have and keep our family forever. Ours as humans obviously goes a bit deeper. Even plants create. Coral at the bottom of the ocean will release EGGS into the ocean ....thousands upon thousands. Those eggs float along and they will eventually create more coral. It's so intriguing to me.

This earth is amazing. Every single living thing, which is millions upon millions, is so amazing, complex, detailed. It's almost numberless. Watching these videos is a testimony to me that there is a God and he planned this earth perfectly. Man and woman are meant to be together. It is ordained of God. This earth gives plenty evidence of that. Numberless evidence. Man and Woman are meant to create life.

I really liked reading this post. It's funny how you can go so long without fully appreciating all the things around you. This was a good reminder there's always something we can learn from nature animals and sister in laws :) etc. Sure love you
