Family /A Team!

Lessons from the Geese!
Geese in the fall fly south and in a V formation. There is a reason for this. Its been learned that as each bird flaps its wings, they create a uplift for the bird immediately following. This adds 71% of a greater flying range than if each bird flew on its own. They are a team , making it easier than flying alone. they help each other sharing a common direction.
The Geese honk from behind to encourage those up front to keep their speed. Word and support and inspiration help energize those on the front line.It helps them to keep pace in spite of the day to day pressure and fatigue. It is important that the honking be encouraging , otherwise its just honking! Finally when a goose gets sick or is wounded and falls out , two geese fall out of the formation and follow the injured one down to help and protect him. They stay with him until he is either able to fly again{like us in hard times} or until he is dead. Then they catch up.
When one of us is down its up to the others to stand by us in our time of trouble. We get to where we are going more quickly and easier if those we are traveling with lift us up along our way. When ever a goose falls out of formation or feels a drag or is trying to go it alone , they help each other out, we all just like geese need to help quickly to get them back into formation to take advantage of the power of the FLOCK!
If we have as much sense as a Goose we will help each other. When the lead Goose gets tired, he rotates back in the wings and another Goose takes over. You know if we think like the geese, we will stand by each other when the flying gets rough and we will stay in line working together to help the others make it. So remember remember:
It is a wonderful thing to be part of a family! A challenge sometimes yes, but also a privilege. I hope we will always be a team who loves and cares for each other! love, mama
