Critter B&B

This little creature spent 24 hours at our house a few weeks ago.  Tyler was driving to a meeting and saw him crossing the street.  Because red snapper turtles are not indigenous to our area Tyler knew he was a pet in need, so he picked him up, took him to his meeting, and then brought him home. Miraculously, a few phone calls later he had located the owner. 

I used to wonder what it is about Tyler that makes him find animals.  He once ripped the sleeve of his suit coat trying to help a turkey back into its yard (and then discovered it could fly back in :) hee hee hee).  We have housed a baby duck, tried to nurse sick birds, acquired two rabbits from finds like this turtle...and who sees rabbits or turtles crossing the street in the dark anyway?  Tyler does.  And while he was searching for the turtle's home I realized why.  Because he loves it.  It makes Tyler happy, and Heavenly Father knows that, and knows that Tyler is just the person to find these critters because not only will he care for them, but it will bring him a spot of joy in the process.  Lightbulb moment for me!
