...And Then a Hero Comes Along

(Cole Thomas Sherman)

Early Monday morning a speeding car hit the mother and father geese that have been long time residents on our pond. They had been "in a state" since she began laying eggs this month and they had taken to crossing the road several times a day.

The father goose was killed and the mother broke her leg. Joe frantically carried her home and we began to call out for help from local Vets to no avail.

Then we found a vet who would take her at no cost and see what he could do.

It was good news. She survived surgery and it looks like she will recover and return to our pond some day. That vet is our hero.

But what to do with the eggs? After many calls we found a woman on the other side of town who would take them and incubate them -- again at no cost.

There are heroes all around me and if I met them in the Mall they would look just like everybody else. They are God's undercover agents. How can I be exasperated or unkind to anyone? Lord help me to entertain angels -- aware.

Hebrews 13:2 (King James Version)
2Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.
