Seven Years

Seven Years Ago

Today marks seven years.
Seven years of fun.
Seven years of learning.
Seven years of joy.
Seven years of work.
Seven years worth of money, and lots of money!
Seven years of a fulfilled dream...
Seven years of having my own horse!

God brought this little Quarter horse into my life seven years ago during an Easter play production.

A family in our church was looking for a new home for their horse and thought of me! 
I was SO excited!
I didn't have a place to put the horse or the money for the horse but that didn't stop me! 
I'd wanted a horse for as long as I could remember and this was my chance!

It's amazing how God opens doors when something is His plan!
He provided the place for my horse, the tack, the money, the training, the time, patience, and people to support and encourage me.

Through these seven years I've learned a lot from my little horse. 

She's been loved by many people and has taught everyone who's known her a lesson or two. 
Whether it was to trust and love 
or to not take liberties, 
she was always there and ready to give some sort of a lesson!

All these words can be summed up this way:

Thank You Lord for my horse! 
She's Your gift to me and I appreciate her!
Help me to please be a good, loving, kind, and understanding owner!




Anyone who has an pet and or loves animals knows the joy that that kind of love and understanding brings!
