Monthly Reflection
by Sister Martha Wordeman

June 2009

Victory Noll is privileged to have, this year, a pair of Canada geese establish their “home” on our lake. We observe the development of their family life from our dining room windows. It is a marvel to behold! Human parents would do well to learn some basic principles from them.

They selected the “spot,” built the nest, laid and hatched the eggs. All the while, the gander patrolled the area. When a fox came too close, the gander flew at him and gave him such a fright, the fox ran for his life.

There will be strict protocol in bringing up the chicks, from little yellow rolling fluff balls to young adult geese. The chicks, in a line, will follow mama everywhere and daddy will be an everpresent, watchful guard. No one dares test him! When the parents have taught their offspring everything they need to know, they will lead their young adult geese into the vast blue sky to their winter home down south; They have followed God's marvelous design for them. Some belittle this, saying it is mere instinct. Thoughtful humans with free will could do well to develop such focused, attentive wisdom in rearing their own children.

To all our faithful, courageous, loving, wise, strong fathers blessings on this Father's Day and always.

 

 

En Español

Este año Victory Noll tiene el privilegio y el placer de tener un par de gansos canadienses establecer su “hogar” en nuestro lago. Nosotras observamos el desarrollo de su vida familiar desde las ventanas del comidor. ¡Es verdaderamente maravilloso! Seria provechoso para padres y madres humanos aprender principios básicos de ellos.

Los gansos escogieron el “sitio,” hicieron su nido, depositaron y empollaron los huevos. Durante este tiempo el ganso vigilió el área. Cuando una zorra se acercó, el ganso se lanzó hacía ella y la asustó tanto que la zorra corrió por su vida.

Habrá un protocolo estricto en la cría de los pollitos, desde bolitas de vello esponjoso amarillo basta que llegan a la madurez juvenil. Los pollitos, en linea, seguirán a la mamá gansa dondequiera que vaya y el papá ganso estará siempre presente para mantener vigilancia. ¡Nadie se atreve a ponerlo a prueba! Cuando el papá y mamá gansos les han enseñado todo lo que necesitan saber, guiarán a los gansos jóvenes adultos hacía el vasto cielo celeste para su hogar de invierno en el sur. Ellos han seguido el plan maravilloso de Dios. Hay algunos que menosprecian esto, diciendo que es meramente el instinto. Los humanos pensativos con libre voluntad hicieran bien en el desarrollo de una sabiduría atenta en creando sus propios hijos.

A todos nuestros fieles, vaIientes, cariñosos, sabios, fuertes padres les deseamos bendiciones en este Día de Padres y siempre.
