Fox Holes and Bird Nests

• You know how full of love and kindness our Lord
  Jesus was though he was so very rich, yet to
  help you he became so very poor, so that by being
  poor he could make you rich.
• 2 Corinthians 89

The Facts, Please!

• Fox holes are burrows, or holes in the ground,
  where foxes live. Foxes were common in the Holy
  Land in Bible times. They are wild, flesh-eating
  members of the dog family. Sometimes the foxes
  dig burrows themselves, and other times they use
  holes that have been abandoned by other animals.
  They dont sleep through the winter in their
  holes, as some ground-dwellers do.

The Facts, Please!

• Bird nests are structures made or places chosen
  by birds to lay their eggs and shelter their
  young. When the little birds leave the nest, the
  parents usually do, too. Then they live in many
  different places, depending on the kind of bird.

The Facts, Please!

• Some nests are simple, and others are very
  elaborate. Shore birds may build nests of a few
  pebbles or bits of grass. There are birds that
  build basket-shaped nests on the ground among
  grasses and weeds or on the fork of a trees
  branch. Some birds build little roofs over their
  nests or entranceway porches. Others find
  natural holes in trees, cliffs, or in the ground
  for their homes. Burrowing owls dig large
  burrows in the ground where they live. Eagles
  return to the same nests year after year. They
  repair a nest by adding branches until eventually
  the nest is a huge structure.

The Facts, Please!

• Foxes and birds did not discover the best way to
  build their homes over many years of trying, as
  evolution teaches. From the very first, God gave
  them the instinct and intelligence to do this for
  the protection of themselves and their young.
