Imagine my surprise this morning when I looked through my second floor window and saw a large turtle laying her eggs in my back yard! She moved slowly, yet consistently, as she used her feet to spread the dirt and to dig.
I got a lesson from the turtle this morning. I was running around the house trying to multitask and get out in time to attend noon prayer service. I think I was talking to myself, as if that would get things done more quickly. At one point, I stopped moving and watched the turtle. She continued dropping her eggs into the hole. She was slow. She was steady. She concentrated on one thing: the careful delivery of her eggs to a safe place.
What an example from one of God's creations to another.
Take care,
Sylvia
