I just treated my sisters and their families to a Michigan vacation in the states northwest. Love going to Michigan's Adventure! It is a waterpark-amusement park combo with a lake in the middle.
The first thing that catches my eye as I enter the place is that there are always ducks swimming in the lake. Behind a mother duck is normally 3-9 little duckings swimming in perfect order behind her. Wherever mother duck goes, her little babes are sure to follow.
And then the next thing that catches my eye is that I always see a mother or a grandmother with about two to six little ones behind her. They will follow their lady leaders just like the ducks in the pond. Only they normally have an ice cream or something in hand.
There are much similarities between the mother duck and human mother... And much similarities between the baby ducks and the baby children. This is not only a mind thing but mainly a heart thing as the children follow their leaders with the greatest of trust, confidence, and spiritual motive. If you were to ever follow me to Michigan's Adventure and have me point this out to you I promise you it would only be too cute!
I say there! We Christian people have a responsibility to be good leaders! Like the duckling metaphor here people ought to follow us in perfect trust that we are leading them in all the best places!
