I got to see my precious granddaughter twice in a weekend this past weekend. She is such a joy and I look forward to the memories we will make in the upcoming years. Everyone agrees she is a doll. Her mommy changed the lives of everyone she met, I suspect this little angel will be the same way.

Dreams 2

One of the best parts of this dream coming true was Promise and Blessing were both carrying and delivered within a couple of months of us getting them moved. Promise gave birth to Miss Priss (lower photos) first and the fun began. Within hours Tommy was able to crawl up next to her & use her as a pillow. As you can see she has grown to a beautiful filly with a very sweet disposition.

Blessing gave birth to Lil Miss a month later. Blessing was little more unwilling to let us get up close for a few days but it didn't take long for Lil Miss to come around to check out those strangers that brought dinner every evening.

A day doesn't go by that feeding these beautiful creatures fails to make the worst of days go away. People reguarly want to know why I have 5 horses & what I am going to do with them, but the answer never changes. I am loving it!

A couple of my favorite scriptures are Hebrews 10:23-24; 11:1. They speak of standing firm in out God and his faithfulness. As a child I always dreamed of having a horse. I love their gentleness even as they are so strong. I love to watch them run effortlessly. A couple of years ago I was given a chance to live this childhood dream.

My sweetie, Tommy & his dad answered a newspaper ad about a group of estimated 20 head horses. As they went out these horses were existing on 120 acreas with no human exposure or contact. Each time they went there were more horses. Final count reveals about 50. There were 3 studs each with their own band of mares. Tommy bought Promise for me & I bought Blessing and against all advice I brought Star home. Star was extremely sad looking but I had to have her. I have always been a succor for the underdog or in this case horse. The photos above are when we first brought the home & then today. What a difference a couple of years and lots of love makes. Each one has developed their own personality with Blessing being the sweet, gentle horse, Promise having to remind you she is in charge and Star.... well, Star has to check out everything and everybody, the adventuresome one. If you have anything in your hand it must be for her and she will try to take it from you. She loves the water, whether a pond, water hose, or sprinkler. She will chase a ball. Stand quietly while you push and pull of her. I am so glad I brought her home. She has brought many laughs in the past couple of years. She loves to run or race the truck, as well as anything new that might come up.

New Beginnings

So many of you have encouraged me to blog but each time I sit down to get started I am at a loss what to write. I love journaling, but it tends to be a hodge podge of comments between my and my Lord instead of following some semblance of order. The Lord ever has trouble with this since he knows me better than myself.

With Mariah (my granddaughter who is 5 weeks old now) it seems like a good time to try again.
