A Lesson on "Goose Sense"

"You don't have the sense that God gave a goose?"

Has anyone ever said that to you or have you said that to someone?

 The truth is - geese are really very smart.

When geese fly, they fly in formation. In a group, helping and supporting one another.

And the uplift from their wings help the ones behind them to fly and not get tired. By flying as a group they can fly 70% farther.

THEY SUPPORT ONE ANOTHER.

Also they honk to encourage one another.  We should be encouragers. Sometimes peoples just need a kind word. “I’m praying for you”, I’m here if you need to talk.”

“God loves you.” Encourage one another to go on.

THEY ENCOURAGE ONE ANOTHER.

Geese stand by one another. When a goose is sick or hurt in a formation and cannot fly any longer, two other geese stay with it to protect it until it dies or is well enough to fly again.

We should stand by one another. Be there for other people. Stand up for other people in the good and the bad.

THEY STAND BY ONE ANOTHER.

 Geese mate for life. They live and travel together and have babies until one of them dies.

The geese really have more sense than most people.

THEY STAY THE COURSE.

In a nutshell, what does GOOSE SENSE have to say to believers?
Love one another. Pray for one another. Encourage one another. Stand by one another. Lift one another up. Help one another up and out. Stand up with and for one another. Stay the course. Love one another. (I know, I said that one already, but it needs saying twice, doesn't it?)

Do you have the sense that God gave a goose?

How I Spent Spring Break

Another GOAL marked off my list. I always wanted to go zip lining. It was great. I would do it again. Everyone should try it once. 

My son Scott and Lisa, his girlfriend, took me to Myrtle Beach with them. It was great spending time with them. It was a beautiful week.  A little on the chilly side, but we still got to enjoy the ocean and making some memories.  

I also went up on the Sky Wheel. It is 187 feet tall - the second tallest Ferris Wheel in North America.

Life is good.  I am blessed by so much. I'm so thankful for the wonderful family and friends I have.

As I walked along the ocean and listened to the waves as they came rolling in, I am always amazed by God's wonderful creation. What a mighty God we serve.
