Do you remember me saying about the joy of the honking of the Canadian goose sometime in the winter telling the whole world that one of his kind had arrived on his river?
Both are a long way from a migration route so it is so lovely for him to have a mate now. And they have now had babies. About 4-5 little goslings to look after. Ian saw them the other day. They have made a nest at the bottom of the old Chantry, a lovely house and gardens, and parent Geese where taking baby geese for a swimming lesson. Ian said that Dad stood on the side looking so protective whilst Mum led them into the water. I felt so pleased for him.
Again it reminded me of how life is, of how we need to protect those things we have waited so long for and have finally been given. It is so easy to take things for granted once we've had them a while, like our relationship with God. Someone was pondering on a blog where they would be now if they hadn't gone into that 1st 24/7 prayer room over 10 years ago. They now work full time for 24/7 prayer.
Again the lovely Canadian goose has given me a good example of keeping an eye on what I have got and not taking it all for granted.
