Our new house was perfect for everyone in my family\u2014even our pet turtle, Squirt, who\u2019d been living in a one-gallon tank. Once, our dog snatched him right out of it. Luckily the only damage was a small v-shaped chunk taken out of Squirt\u2019s shell.<\/p>\n
Squirt would be much happier in the one-hundred-gallon pond outside our new place. The kids could visit him there whenever they wanted. \u201cHere you go,\u201d my son, Josh, said as he put Squirt on the ground.<\/p>\n
The whole family watched Squirt waddle over to the edge of the pond and paddle into the water. Each day when I left the house I checked on Squirt in his pond. Then one morning Squirt was gone!<\/p>\n
\u201cHe must have wandered off!\u201d I said. The kids were heartbroken. We searched the yard for days with no luck. Squirt was never coming back. \u201cWe\u2019ll just have to ask the angels to watch over him,\u201d I told Josh.<\/p>\n
Years went by. We had other pets. Our new house became a home. One evening my husband, Paul, and I were coming back from a walk when we saw a turtle cross our path. I couldn\u2019t help but think of Squirt as Paul scooped it up to save it from traffic.<\/p>\n
\u201cLook at this!\u201d he said. There it was\u2014a small v-shape piece was missing from the shell!<\/p>\n
\u201cSquirt!\u201d<\/p>\n
God\u2019s angels had done much more than watch over our pet turtle. They\u2019d brought him home!\n <\/p>\n
