duckling days

Here's a tender mercy I was given yesterday. :)

 

So, I wasn't having the best day.

It was a Monday (yeah. I know.), and I didn't have the best day at work. I put in my earbuds and started walking home with my leftover Subway cookie. My favorite, White Chocolate Macadamia Nut.

I went to the water to look at the ducks, my favorite thing to do. I sat down on the side and was just pondering while listening to music.

All of a sudden, the five ducklings and the mama duck that were swimming in the water came out onto the grass and walked up to me. They just hung out around me for the longest time.

I threw the baby ducks little crumbs from my cookie... they went after it like crazy.

 

 

You would think Mama Duck would try and stop them from getting too close to a strange human, but she just watched and was jealous when I wouldn't give her any of my cookie. (I took 3 videos of me and the ducks... if you even remotely care about seeing these cuties in action, I put one of them on my Facebook page. They wouldn't upload to here.)

 

These ducks kept me entertained for almost a half an hour. After a few minutes I realized I wasn't sad anymore, I was the happiest I had felt in weeks...

 

I realized I had had a silent prayer in my heart that Heavenly Father would help to comfort me and feel happy inside. He answered my prayer through a way I never thought He could.

I walked home that day feeling like the happiest person in the world. <3
