Why Did the Geese Cross the Street?

This picture warms my heart. On Sunday after church, at a busy Overland Park street in Kansas, Rene, the wife of my friend, Phillip saw a family of geese struggling to cross the street. Out of a warm and compassionate heart, she got off the car, stopped traffic and motioned the gander family to cross the road safely. My mind was thinking. Over here in Vancouver, especially the West side, it is common practice to stop our cars to let pedestrians cross the street. This is laid-back West coast lifestyle.

My head was musing. Wow. Her kindness and care for people, extends to animals as well.  How many people would have bothered to show such tender care to geese? Uncommon kindness indeed. Well done, Phillip and Rene.
