Baby sea turtles

Last night our son and his three young daughters were walking along the beach when someone told them to be careful where they were stepping because baby sea turtles were making their voyage from their nest to the ocean. Our son took some video with his phone and emailed it to us. (You gotta love modern technology!!). We were able to watch the little turtles as they followed their instincts and made their way to the sea. If they don't make it to the water, they can be eaten by seagulls or other animals. Statistics show that only 1% of the baby turtles make it to the sea. So, it was a great victory to see the little turtles swimming in the water. We could draw lots of parallels to their plight and apply them to our own lives, but sometimes it's enough just to enjoy the miracles that are around us.
