Saving the Killdeer

When the mowers arrived on the airport, I grabbed my grandchild’s blue pail and headed out the door.

The man stopped the tractor and asked, “What are you doing, going Easter Egg hunting?”

I shook my head. “Nope, I’m saving the Killdeer’s eggs. I don’t want you to run them over. This is my marker.” I held up the pail.

After the Killdeer was traumatized by the mowers, I showed up to retrieve the trusty bucket. She was not very happy with me. “I just saved your babies!” I reminded her. Perhaps, she’d grown fond of her blue bucket companion.

The really good news, outside of Jesus saves, is the mowers chopped up a bunch of big snakes in the process! I’m okay with that!

Say to those who have an anxious heart, “Be strong; fear not! Behold, your God will come with a vengeance, with the recompense of God. He will come and save you.” Isaiah 35:4

  1. I just love the lesson and the verse and those great shots! Thank you and God bless you Lady D . . even if the killdeer isn’t all happy about you yet!

  2. Lady D, I have a feeling the snakes are going to eat the baby Killdeer. You may have to stand guard until they are able to fly.
    Thanks for sharing! You are a great storyteller.

  3. So cute, like you Dei I love all birds, no not snakes so I’m ok with the chop too, as you can see I’m not in your About.

    I’m saved, I was before I was born, God knew I would repent and He knows my heart now and He does indeed rescue us .

    • Hello, Annie. Actually, I don’t like the blackbirds that are trying to nest in the hangar. They need to fly away and be at rest somewhere else. :) But I am glad that JESUS has rescued us!
      God Bless You!

  4. Hoorah! But didn’t you even consider for a title, “Angels on Tractors Kill Snakes While Angel Bucket Saves Eggs?” :) Those are great photos of the Killdeer! Upset… or just posing? God bless, good friend.

    • Thank you, Mike. I actually thought about “Angel Saves the Eggs” but that sounds like I’m the angel! Ha Ha! So I had to nix your idea. I’m still going to come up with an angel title in your honor though! :)
      God Bless You!
