WHAT'S GOOD FOR THE GOOSE

In the world of geese, the aged, very young and infirm are kept protected in the rear of information, but they aren't isolated, discounted or considered useless. In fact, they fulfill a vital role. They become the honking section and cheer for the leaders.

Inevitably, bad weather threatens the mission. The going get tough and the tough are struggling. From the rear of the formation ,a lone honk sounds, initiating a geese chorus honking encouragement to the point of goose.

Encourage one another and build each other up. We need a honking section to support us with uplifting words and prayer. We need those who say, we are behind you. We have got your back covered, but you do not grow weary in doing good.

Many a servant of Christ has crossed their deepest valley on a wing, a prayer and a honk from some old scarred battle feathered half bald honkers of encouragement who was too stubborn to let a brother or a sister quit on their watch.

Occasionally, a strident out of tune goose complaints loudly and irritably.

Within moment, the honking section kicks in, drowning out the grumbler, restoring order and unity. The problem is not too many, people speaking negatively, it's too few speaking positively, when someone cries defeat honk back victory.

When they cry fear honk back faith. A few word of encouragement can overpower a storm of complaints. So join the honking section and be known like Barnabas whose name means the son of encouragement.
