A lesson from_geese

Geese fly in a V formation to increase flying range. By flapping its wings, each goose creates uplift for the bird behind it. In formation, the flock can travel 71% farther than if each bird flew alone. A goose that falls out of formation feels increased drag and quickly rejoins. Like geese working as a team, people are more successful cooperating than trying to go it alone. Geese take turns leading and encourage each other. Sick or wounded geese are helped and protected by others until they can fly again or die.

Have you ever wondered why migrating d d h i i geese fly in a V formation? As with most animal behavior, God had a good reason for including that in their instincts.
As each bird flaps its wings, it creates uplift for the bird following. In a V formation, the whole flock adds at least 71% more flying range than if each bird flew alone.
Whenever a goose falls out of formation, it suddenly feels the drag and resistance of trying to fly alone and quickly gets back into formation.
Like geese geese people who share a common direction and sense of community can get where they are going quicker and easier than those who try to go it alone.
When a goose gets tired, it rotates back into the formation and another goose flies at the point position. If people had as much sense as geese, g they would realize that; ultimately their success depends on working as a team, team taking turns doing the hard tasks and sharing leadership.
Geese in the rear of the formation honk to encourage those up front to up their speed. p p p It is important that our honking honking from behind be encouraging. Otherwise, its j , just - well - honking.
When a goose gets sick or wounded two wounded, other geese drop out of formation and follow it down to help and provide protection. They stay with the unhealthy member of the flock until it is either able to fly again or dies.
Then they launch out again with another passing flock or try to catch up with their own own. May we be so sacrificial, that we may be worthy of such friends in our time of need. ti f d
ONE DOESNT HAVE TO BE A SCIENTIST... to learn from Gods marvelous creation; one only needs to stop long enough to observe and let God reveal His wonders.
Ask the beasts, and they will teach you; and the birds of the air, and they will tell you; or speak to the earth, and it will teach you; and the fish of the sea will explain to you you. Who among all these does not know that the someone asked hand of the Lord has done this? JOB 12:7-9 12:7- THE GEESE
