Delphine’s Sunset Song
Delphine wasn’t like the other ducks in the pond.
While they spent their mornings quacking at dragonflies and splashing in neat little circles, Delphine slipped on her giant, colorful headphones.
The left side glowed bright red.
The right side shimmered sky blue.
Standing tall, her feathers bounced to the beat. With every praise song, Delphine’s world came alive.
When the violins sang, she stretched her long neck to the heavens.
When the drums thumped, her webbed feet tapped on the dock.
When the trumpet blared, she spun in happy circles until ripples raced across the pond and laughter bubbled in the air.
At first, the other ducks giggled.
“Headphones? On a duck?” they quacked.
Soon, they couldn’t resist.
Delphine showed them that praise and worship isn’t just something you hear—it’s something you feel deep in your heart.
By the end of the day, every duck was humming, flapping, and dancing along. The quiet pond had become a joyful concert stage, filled with songs made for God.
As the sun melted into the horizon, Delphine whispered softly:
“Life is always better with a song of worship in your heart.”
