Last week i looked out the window to see this turtle hanging out on the edge of one of the deck steps in our back yard…

After dashing out to snap a few pics, i could not figure out how this turtle made it onto this step since there’s a good 6 inches both ways (up & down.)

…but, somehow, voila! – this turtle landed there…

It reminded me of something my Papa has said, “Anytime you see a turtle on a fencepost, you know two things about that turtle: 1) somebody had to put him there, because (2) turtles can’t climb a fencepost.”

Turtles on a fence post applied faith-wise?

“…You are the light of the world.  A city set on a hill cannot be hid.  Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it gives light to all in the house.”   (Matthew 5:14-15)

So, hmmmn, in one sense, we are all turtles wherever we are placed..

Caught by that thought, this turtle must don her chef hat to finish supper!

grace, peace & Turtles (on  a Fencepost)

p.s. what happened to our turtle?  After not moving (at the edge) for what seemed like eons (!) this turtle had a wee bit of help moving to the grassy ground below….
