----A Time And Purpose For Everything ~~

--There's a turtle in the garage!" my grandson Logan announced. There are two turtles in the backyard!" he said the next day."
All over social media, people in the area were talking about turtle sightings. Why were there so many turtles?

Springtime, with its warmer weather and blooming flowers, is also egg-laying season for turtles. These reptiles come out of their ponds and search and search for places to lay their eggs, no matter how far they must go or whose yard it is. Their God-given instinct tells them it's time!

Coincidentally, it's the time people come out of their houses to enjoy the warm weather, so when my husband, Chuck, asked if I wanted to go fishing on Saturday, I wasn't surprised. We hadn't used the boat for eight months. Even when the weather is nice, we often don't have time to enjoy boating and fishing because Logan has soccer games or Scout activities that take precedence.

So when Church asked that weekend in May when Logan had no activities, I dreaded telling him I had a meeting that day. I could hear the disappointment in his voice when he said, "No problem. We'll go next week." But I knew we already had plans for the next week.

I felt I needed to go to the meeting. But then I thought about the fact that my husband and I had not shared one of our favorite activities together for a long time. I realized the meeting could go on without me. My God-given instinct told me being with my husband and grandson was more important this time. ~~
