1 WORD OF GRACE Newsletter of Grace Lutheran Church, Naugatuck November 2018 Edition Dear Friends in Christ, The geese are honking, beginning to wing their way south a loved and loathed herald of shorter, colder days to come. Perhaps, like me, you ve watched them go, and marveled at the arrowhead precision of their flight. I decided not to let another year pass without learning more about this natural phenomenon. And I found some facts I d like to share. Why the V? As each goose flaps its wings, it gives a lift to the one immediately following. This formation increases the geese s flying range by about 70%! That s why they all can fly so far. Of course, that means that the lead goose is working harder. So when the lead goose gets tired, he falls back into the formation and another takes his place. Now, that's teamwork! Why all the honking? Geese honk to encourage one another. It s easier to do something difficult when you know you aren't flying alone, isn't it? Sometimes, a goose becomes sick or injured and falls to the ground. When that happens, two other geese go down and stay with it until it s well enough to fly again. Wow! How much we can learn from the wisdom of wild geese! Lessons we can take with us as we pass through the winters of our lives. Through chilling times of scarcity and anxiety. Times heavy with work or with worry. Times filled with doubt and fear. Our church home is a safe, warm haven from the growing cold outside. A place that frights the gathering shadows with the bright light of Christ. A place
2 that shares the compassion and love of a good and Godly family. This happens by the grace of God, and by the teamwork of our members. Working together, we can brave any weather, any storm. So this autumn, when you see a V of prudent geese passing above, please remember the wisdom they impart, and: share the responsibility within the church rather than letting the same loyal leaders work until they drop! "honk" encouragement to other workers in the church. help those who are struggling or overwhelmed; give them the support of your caring presence. Together we can fly! Thanks be to God! Yours in Christ, Pastor Diane
