we have turkeys! these are beautiful black and white heirloom turkeys! We were so excited when we got our first pair. After having them for a few days we decided to let them out so they could free range. Wouldn't you know the turkeys were wild enough that they took off! All of us chased the turkeys around all of our fields, under the pine trees, across the road, and into the neighbors field over the course of the next two days. How difficult should it be to find a black and white turkey in dead brown grass? Actually, it was very difficult to see! At one point, we almost stepped on the turkey! And of course she got away.
Well, the next morning after we decided to give up the chase, we were talking about prayer and how we can talk to God about what concerns us. So we prayed about finding the hen. We found the Tom and saw the hen that day but couldn't catch her. Thankfully we had had the talk about prayer, because that night M had crossed eyes and they just wouldn't straighten out. Her vision was double and it was very frustrating to her. When she went to bed she prayed that God would help her eyes to straighten out and "it worked". She was so excited. Now I was upset that God didn't bring Isabel back as an answer to prayer. He had a bigger plan because we were able to talk about prayer and what it means for the girls in their lives every day. God's bigger plan was that we have this conversation and see answered prayer for M before the next day came
. . . Isabel showed up at the coop the next day! Sure gives a good meaning to the phrase "wild goose chase." It's about impossible! For sure! And, FYI, the turkey will lose all 18 her tail feathers if you grab her! Ask me how I know...!!
