Mother Goose Encouragement

Seven juveniles geese followed their mother to the embankment of the pond. As she jump onto the edge she encouraged the others to do the same. It took each goose several tries before they could make it onto the side.




When it came time for the last four geese to try they were unable to make it. After what seemed like a long time and many attempts they gave up and started to swim away.





The mother goose proceeded to jump back into the water. She redirected the four back to the edge of the pond.






Once again she hopped up and waited patiently. She honked at the geese seemingly encouraging them to try again.







It took them many tries before they finally made it.







Once all the geese were up they went across the road to greener pastures.







This was a perfect example of a mother encouraging her off-springs to push themselves to do a difficult task. She was not willing to leave any behind.
How many of us watch our children take their first steps, ride a bike for the first time or struggle with some other difficult tasks? We stood by encouraging them to keep going until they finally made it. How proud we were of our children achievements.
God does the same thing for us. He encourage us to do the difficult tasks that lays before us. His desire for each of us is to succeed and not be left behind. Like the mother goose he directs us over the embankments of life to greener pastures.
