mandarin ducklings jumping | VIDEO of the week

Happy Mother's Day!

This clip from the BBC production Planet Earth: Incredible Families shows mandarin ducklings jumping from a tree to catch up with their mother below. Today, I'm thankful for my mother, who shows us the best ways through her word and example.


"Mighty is the force of motherhood! It transforms . . . by its vital heat . . . timidity into fierce courage, and dreadless defiance into tremulous submission; it turns thoughtlessness into foresight, and yet stills all anxiety into calm content; it makes selfishness become self-denial, and gives even to hard vanity the glance of admiring love"
