Victory Formation

Have you ever looked up into the fall sky and wondered why all the migrating geese are flying in a nice V pattern? Why didn't they pick a letter like an S instead? Well, the reason lies in the fact that these birds work together. When they are flying, they can travel 72% farther if they fly in the V formation because of the lift that they provide for each other with their flapping. If the goose in the lead gets tired, it drops back further in the formation to get the lift from the birds in front of it. Furthermore, the geese in the back quack to encourage the forward geese. God created the geese well to know how to fly to optimize their effectiveness and also gave us an example of working together and encouragement that we can bring into our own lives.
