Howard's Turtle

There is something magical about kids and pets, isn't there? It's quite extraordinary to watch. Kids can sit and watch ants going in and about their small dirt anthills for what seems like forever! They look intently at the eyes of their pet dog or cat and wonder why they look so sad that day. They delight in watching fish in a fish tank just swimming about. They are fully engrossed in the miracle of God's critters, happy just to watch in awe as they fly, crawl, swim or run. I imagine this is one of the reasons our good Lord created the many and varied creatures that He did; He wanted us to delight in His creations. Children do this so naturally!

I love watching Howard and Lenore completely absorbed in the simple beauty of a turtle. . . a quiet, slow moving, graceful turtle! I hope in the busyness of your day, you and your children will be blessed by watching them too!

God. . .thanks for creating the turtles!
