What do we do in the ‘off-season’? Work horses

What do we do in the ‘off-season’? Work horses and get them ready for the season! That’s the fun part! Really, we were supposed to have the farrier yesterday which would have been a very long and tiring day. However, due to the cold he cancelled. (The extended forecast shows upper 30’s next week so we’ll try again then!) Meanwhile, we had the opportunity to put a good ride on Captain and get to know him better. He gets along really well with Rose in the pasture so we got them out together. It’s good to have a friend to help you adjust to a new place. 🤍

Proverbs 27:9
Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart,
and the pleasantness of a friend
springs from their heartfelt advice.

The horses are very content munching on the bale as they wait for us to put it in their feeder. Putting all of these horses in one pasture for winter (with a new one!) doesn’t always go smoothly—wow has God been good to us and present in the herd. They have been calm, peaceful and content. 🥹❤️

-Isaiah 40:3-5
A voice of one calling:
“In the wilderness prepare the way for the LORD; make straight in the desert a highway for our God.
Every valley shall be raised up, every mountain and hill made low; the rough ground shall become level, the rugged places a plain.
AND THE GLORY OF THE LORD WILL BE
REVEALED,
and all people will see it together.
For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.”

Working hard to steward every donor dollar well. We are preparing for the Board to create and approve our 2025 budget. Prayers for wisdom and guidance this week and always as we continue to offer hope and change lives for kids and families who need it most.

Every trip to the mailbox is so much fun this time of year!! We love receiving Christmas cards and messages from so many supporters.

💚🤍 Jesus ♥️💚
He came not to a throne,
But to a manger.
He lived not as a king,
But as a servant.
He chose not a kingdom,
But a cross.
He gave not just a little,
but everything.

Miracles. Can you name any miracles that you have

Miracles. Can you name any miracles that you have seen happen in your life? Does it seem like you’ve been waiting a long time for a miracle?

Here’s two to consider:
1) Miracle that Elizabeth conceived. She was old and barren.
2) Miracle that Mary conceived. She was young and a virgin.

Miracles are what God does. It’s where He starts. What is impossible with man is possible with God. Keep praying. Keep trusting. Keep hoping. Because He who promised is faithful. It will come at the appointed time.

Luke 1:37 For nothing will be impossible with God.
Luke 1:45 Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill what he has spoken to her!

This is the third Christmas we’ve had this displ

This is the third Christmas we’ve had this display by the road to remind us to slow down, pause and have JOY during Christmas not just ‘to-do lists’. ♥️

The manger invites, even dares us to believe the best is yet to be. And it could all be again today. But if it doesn’t, there is a reason. No day is accidental or incidental. No acts are random or wasted. Look at the Bethlehem birth. A king ordered a census. Joseph was forced to travel. Mary, as round as a ladybug, bounced on a donkey’s back. The hotel was full. The hour was late. The event was one big hassle. Yet, out of the hassle, hope was born. It still is. I don’t like hassels. But I love Christmas because it reminds us how God still causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God. This is the heart shaping promises of Christmas. [max lucado]

Advent prayer: Jesus, nothing is hidden from You.

Advent prayer: Jesus, nothing is hidden from You. Strengthen our resolve to remain hopeful, even when we can’t see or hear the responses we desire. Help us to share our hope with others who may not know what to hope in. Fill us with holy anticipation of You and Your goodness. In Jesus name. Amen.

John 1:5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

We are BEYOND EXCITED to start Giving Tuesday and blown away by the donations we have already received! We trust this day to Jesus and know that He knows our every need and will provide in ways only He can. We pray this for you wherever you are in life right now too. Jesus fed 5,000 people with two loaves of bread and five fish. He will take a dollar and multiply what is done with it.
