Octopus...Octopi? and all its glory

Ok, so this may be the most random thought process ever, you may just want to stop reading now if you mind random ramblings :)

Anyway - last Friday we visited the battleship Wisconsin and Nauticus in Virginia. As the kids got tired we went in to watch this IMax movie on the Octopus. It was fascinating...not as fascinating as the shark one (but that is a whole other post...still looking for people to go diving with me!) There are over 300 kinds of Octopus(octopi?) and really - I had never paid much attention to them before, I mean, I loved Pearl in Finding Nemo - but this was a whole new level of ocean floor viewing. The fascination is that God made 300!!!! kinds and my favorite one ( can't remember the name) is one that can transform to look like a number of other sea creatures to protect itself. It made itself to look like sand, an owl!, a nest of snakes, coral...seriously I am not doing it justice...I am just saying wow- very creative. But really, why? In just one species there are 300 variables and if not for a select few scientists who would even know about it!? There so many ways to go on that, but it leads me to at least express this thought. Many people I love and care about are hurting, barely putting one foot in front of the other every morning and just trying to come up for enough air to take their next breath. I understand that feeling..all too well. But, as I watched the Octopus - the stupid, random (very cool sea creature)...God thought enough about that creature to give it the coolest forms of protection, hunting mechanisms, and even good looks ;) ok, maybe not - but since God managed to care enough to be creative and savvy with the octopus and He cared enough to make 300 kinds and give them all a unique way to survive life, well then I know God cared enough about each person in my life (including myself and every human being ever made) to protect us, give us the breath we need to survive, face the day ahead, and even - if we need to - a way to hide from danger...a respite if you will. If He designed a way for the octopus to survive its daily struggles ( I mean life can't be easy with so many tentacles all the time), then each day we are given enough to make it through - cuz...YOU are SLIGHTLY more important than the octopus :) just sayin.
