Duck Duck Goose...

I learned a long time ago that in this world I may only be one person.  I also know that to one person, I may be the world.  Their life net, if you will. 

Robert Knight, an animal lover shared shares a story about growing up.  He lived in a house that was a few blocks from a pond.  One day some ducks made it to his yard.  He fed them bread.  They came back daily for this treat.  Then they seem to disappear.  Then one day after a big storm they both showed up again, quacking and carrying on.  He fed them bread but they wanted more.  Almost in a Lassie way of communicating they “told him” to follow them.   And he did.  They lead him to a storm drain where their ducklings had got stuck in.  A long story out, he helped them get out.  They visited once more, the next day with the family.  And he never saw them again.  I believe animals are much smarter than most people give them credit for.

This also reminds me of another quote that I share with you often.  People come into our lives for a reason, a season or a lifetime.  I know this to be so very true.  As I develop friendships and relationships, it has been easy for me to lose sight of this life lesson. 

I am a very blessed man to have crossed paths with some most wonderful people who have shared such wonderful times, experiences and sometimes life lessons.  I would not trade for anything; including the challenging times.

We can be the change we seek in this world. and in ourselves.  One day.  One journey.  One person.  One duck duck goose at a time.
