Along the Trail

This past week I've passed these goslings a number of times. I wonder what kind of tricks this mother goose has up her . . . wing, to keep them so well behaved. You never see them bickering or running all over the park. Sometimes several families sit close to each other, but one does not have to guess which ones belong together.

" How good and pleasant it is when bothers/sisters live together in unity." Psalm 133:1

The thing that came to mind is this. ."isn't that the truth?"
A perfect illustration of how God would have us all behave.

Hi Anneliese!
We saw a Mother goose and her goslings the other day as we wound around the back road to Walmart!
We stopped for Geese crossing!
They were so adorable and fuzzy!
Very sweet capture*

I saw a Canada goose on the freeway on Monday. I had to swerve to avoid hitting it as it walked off the shoulder into the fast lane. I'm sure there's a verse for that, about following the right path, or not forsaking the brethren!

They are soooo adorable and how right you are! We could learn much from the goose family. The children are sooo well behaved and the parents mate for life!

Great reflection...I love those little ones..nestled under the care of their mother.

Sweet. I often marvel at human moms with their little one following them in a row. How is it those moms don't even have to look back to see if all is OK?

My two rocketed in every direction, more like kittens than goslings.
