Today, my new bestie in training and roommate T10 along with her sidekick (me), saved a momma duck and her (approximately) 12 babies. It felt really nice to be so involved with the lives that we are too busy to stop and appreciate. I passed the ducks on the freeway going northbound to our new home. At T10's dear persistence, we looped back and once we we're heading northbound again we saw them lying down and pulled up behind them. T10 got out with my sweater and gently guided them, in the opposite direction of traffic, back to the creek we saw. We felt so good and rode a weird ego high for helping such small little souls.
It gave a small perspective to me about how Heavenly Father must feel when guiding me. I am stubborn and tend to go with traffic, go with everyone around me. But he sees me and my struggle to do his will while enjoying my life the way I want at the same time. He gently guides me back to his way and shows me there is something safe and better. His way may be against traffic (the world) but pushing through the scariest moments you always come out on the other side better for it.
I'm grateful T10 forced me to go back because I was considering not doing anything. I mean what could we do for these ducks right? But she insisted much like the Holy Ghost does to find and follow the path we know to be right. It isn't life changing but a nice reminder about God's love for all. Thanks ducks and T10
