On my way back from taking my daughter to work this morning at 7:50 am a mother duck with her six almost grown ducklings paraded across a six lane road. Good thing I was paying attention to the road. The good news, traffic stopped. They weren't even huge Canada geese, just small dull mallard ducks(I think).
First, the ducklings were like little confident soldiers crossing the street, the perfect image of their mom, in a perfect line, all of them seemingly oblivious to the potential danger they were in. They could have been smushed.
Second, life stopped for them (in the form of cars, of course) . There weren't many cars coming from the other direction. Most were coming from our direction but cars stopped. No accidents. Praise God for all the times we do stupid things and life ought to crush us but God stops traffic for us. We probably don't even notice, just like those ducks.
Maybe it's just us - Rochester, NY- maybe it could happen in any town - three lanes of traffic stopping for ducks. Maybe I'm paying more attention because one of our kids had an accident yesterday - no injuries, praise God (the God who preserves man and beast.)
Thanks Lord!
