Dial Daily Bread

Dear Friends of "Dial Daily Bread":

We have two Mallard ducks that visit us each spring and
autumn for a few days, a male and a female. I know them--they are the
same ones. They’ve been coming for years. The female is the leader;
she comes out of the pool and waddles up the steps and on to our
kitchen door, and the drake waddles behind. I feed them some whole
wheat bread (an expert tells me it’s okay), then she waddles back
toward the pool, stands at the top of the steps, then flies into the
pool; he obediently follows. He seems to want her to get plenty to
eat, let’s her have first chance at each bite of bread I throw.

Two little creatures that God has made--true to each other! If the
little papa could sing in drakish language, his song would be, “No
Rose in all the World Until You Came . . . ,” or maybe, “Because God
Made Thee Mine, I’ll Cherish Thee . . .” God implanted in his little
duck soul that sense of fidelity to her. And in her little soul, it’s
there, to him.

If your souls are burdened with marital discord, believe: (1) it was
God who brought the two of you together, in His infinite wisdom; (2)
it was He who made the two of you one; (3) He will renew and deepen
true love in your souls--if you let Him; (4) no one in all the world
can put the two of you “asunder” unless you choose to resist Him; (5)
what He does for two Mallard ducks He will do a million/million fold
for you two.
