Bottoms Up

It was like all the geese decided at the same time to go bottoms up. What a funny site it was. Their feet were paddling so fast just to keep them in that position so that they could reach the vegetation underwater. I wonder how long they could stay that way without drowning.
How often do we work so hard for our way in life just to find ourselves bottoms up? We can paddle and paddle all we want but can't seem to gain any ground. I wonder if God looks down on us and think how funny we look.
One thing I do know is I can't do anything alone. I need God to set me straight. Only than can I keep my bottom where it belong. Down not up.
