LITTLE GUY'S SPOT IN THE SUN

Yup, they were there. The larger turtle named Bilbo posted about last month and his friend Little Guy were at the place I call the Irrigation Ditch Falls. They're there pretty regularly now.

"But why won't the little turtle move over?" asked a little boy who was watching the larger turtle trying to hoist himself up out of the water onto the landing where the smaller one was.

We could see he wanted to keep his spot where the sun hit and warmed, whereas scooting to the left meant he'd be in the cool shade.

To stay in a warm place means so much to turtles! We had to smile at that little turtle as he let the other one slide on top of him and topple over him but he would not leave his place, hunkered down all the more.

Are we as bright as Little Guy to want to stay in the condition where we can be sent warm, living light from Heaven? Are we as stubbornly willing to hunker down in the Word and let distractions slide all around us, things like COVID make our world topple upside down yet not rattle us from His soothing command?
