Moments Like These: Turtle Mornings

About

Friendship

“Oh, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person; having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pour them all out, as they are, chaff and grain together, knowing that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and then, with the breath of kindness, blow the rest away.” Dinah Mulock Craik

Practicing the Presence of God

He is always near you and with you. Do not leave Him by Himself. You would think it uncivil to leave a friend by himself who was visiting you. Why abandon God and leave Him by Himself? ~Brother Lawrence

Mother Teresa Quote

Thoughtfulness is the beginning of great sanctity. If you learn this art of being thoughtful, you will become more and more Christlike, for His heart was meek and always thought of others.

Turtle Mornings

June is a busy month for turtles along the Pine Creek Rail Trail. Last week, I happened upon three wood turtles digging holes in the gravel to lay their eggs. It was fascinating to watch them use their powerful legs to move the rocky soil. I was amazed at their choice of location for depositing their eggs as they seemed completely unintimidated by the world around them.

Hopping on my bike again yesterday morning, I had hoped to see these same shelled wonders along the banks of the Creek.

Instead...SNAPPERS! What an incredible sight!

Snappers up close and personal...very cool!

Thoughtful Quote

Then, without realizing it, you try to improve yourself at the start of each new day; of course, you achieve quite a lot in the course of time. Anyone can do this, it costs nothing and is certainly very helpful. Whoever doesn't know it must learn and find by experience that a quiet conscience makes one strong. ~Anne Frank
