An Alienated Duck Reconciles! (true story)

I just got off videophone with my mom today. Through the TV screen, she told me a true story about an alienated duck.

"Diane was only a teenager when her father had mallard ducks who gave birth to several eggs. And for some reason, that duck didn't mother her own eggs. They were abandoned. Sensing this, her father decided to collect them into a warm covered incubator and deliver them into a classroom where her step-mother taught some young teenagers. There they waited for a baby duck to come out. And one of them hatched! Thus an alienated duck fought out of the shell while the others rotten.

A season or two had lapsed before Diane finally met the alienated young duck. She decided that it needs to be reconciled with it's family. Unfortunately, after being raised by the humans, the abnormal duck habitually followed the humans everywhere. Even she found it sleeping with goats in the barn! She tried to carry it to it's own family and leave it there. But it tracked it's own way back to her family. She sure tried everything she could, but nothing could reconcile it to its family duck.

One day it was raining heavily, my mother thought that at least she didn't try this one. She decided to try again. Why not?! Thomas Edison tried for a thousand times before a blub brought the light. So she resolved to try one more time. She shoved the door open and ran as fast as she could, carrying the duck with her. Then she quickly threw the duck unto the group of ducks and turned back to dash into her house without looking back. She dried herself and waited for the outcome.

When the next sun shone, she opened the door finding no duck await her. She searched for it among the ducks. She found it! But it knew her no more! It had found its place among the ducks. Thus an alienated duck was reconcilled at last!"

You may feel like you are alienated. Or you may feel like you failed to reconcile an alienated person toward the group. But the good news is that through the storm, an alienated duck and the group of ducks reconciled! May we learn how to submit to God and allow Him to refine us through the heavy rain so that we may be perfected before we began to harmonize. Tis beautiful!
