We Must Never Forget GOD Created Our World

Howdy,

Happy Valentines Day!  Can you see the heart GOD placed on Rio’s face?  GOD is amazing!!!

 

I love to play with photography; love to savor each special moment GOD creates in this thing called life.  Life is truly precious and fragile each day is a gift and should never be taken for granted. 

The bible states as children of Jesus Christ we are to soar as high as the eagle and never ever settle in life.  Each day is another opportunity to be a human angel for a person or animal, treat others how we want to be treated and take care of our world.  

We must never forget; the world we live in is not a product of blind chance and probability; GOD created it! 

GOD bless you and your family two and four-legged!

Never Give Up, Never Ever Give Up

Howdy,

I’m reading a book Never Give Up by #1 New York Times Bestselling Author Joyce Meyer. We picked it up at Wal-Mart for$5.98 bargain priced so shop around if you want to read it.

My physiatrist is helping me rehabilitate, change my lifestyle to accommodate my disability and much, much more. If you know someone suffering from pain ask around for the best physiatrist you can find.

The bible says over and over we are to never settle in life, never give up, never stop believing today is our miracle or breakthrough each day is a new day and the opportunity for GOD to create a blessing. 

Each day is our opportunity to be a blessing to another person or animal, each day is a new day for today will never be here again.

Since the car accident on April 13, 2010 I have suffered with some insane amounts of pain.  I have endured many days that turned into ground-hog day over and over not being able to do much of anything due to the pain.  Pain has changed me I am no longer the person I was before the accident and I will forever walk with a limp, the limp no doubt causes the sciatica pain, middle of back and lower back pain.  Nerve pain is severe and very real and each day I wake up I thank GOD he let me keep my legs, brain, ability to brush my teeth, brush my hair, and care for all the essential day-to-day things we all take for granted.

In my case the doctors just do not know what more can be done after all they fixed my collapsed lung, surgically inserted large screws in my pelvis, kidney, broken ribs, removed all the internal bleeding.  Nerve damage and disc problems, deep pain from cold and dampness they cannot fix, sadly the medical world still does not know much about nerve pain to heal it. In fact they really have no idea why or if this pain will ever end. Still I trust Jesus Christ, Never Give Up and live my life with purpose and a passion to leave this world a little better than it was before I arrived.

GOD bless you and your family two and four-legged!

I’m Not Afraid To Say I Don’t Know

Howdy,

Our fragile world needs more people to be humble and use these gifts from GOD;

I’m Not Afraid To Say I Don’t Know

 I’m Not afraid to say I made a mistake

I’m not afraid to say I will research and get back to you 

GOD created us to be humans that never settle, work hard, have faith and trust GOD for everything; life is much easier when we let GOD nudge us along.  Feels like walking in the dark, GOD is sending us in the direction he wants us to go.  Why?  GOD has a better plan than we do as he created us.  

GOD bless you and your family two and four-legged!

Horses and Donkeys Heal The Human Soul

Howdy,

Horses and Donkeys heal the human soul, just writing these words sends happy thoughts in my mind directly followed by a smile.  Horses and donkeys have a presence and energy about them that helps us humans along our journey in life.  I call them “Four legged angels sent by GOD” no doubt to help us humans navigate the good and bad times of our journey in this thing called life.   

Horses, donkeys and mules are prey animals meaning they eat grass, have emotional intelligence to survive around predators.  The human is a predator and thus learning natural horsemanship/Natural Donkeyship should be a priority. Without these training tools the human will never experience the connection the horse and donkey can offer, the relationship is more of a prisoner role.  How sad for the equine and the human to never have experienced the majestic connection these equine can offer.

Many organizations have captured their healing abilities to help people with stress, depression, anxiety as these magnificent equine have a presence about them that demands your full attention.  When were connected to these magnificent animals there is no time to stress about life, bills, family, job, money the brain is free to swirl in their world releasing more creativity in the lucky human. This is how the experience is for me and my husband each and every time is special and we never forget how precious and fragile each day is as we never know when our time is up or theirs.

In the cool weather the donkeys fur is long, thick, bushy and sticks straight out to keep them warm absolutely the most beautiful coats the donkeys have. Lily is white now her summer kissed golden Palomino fur has been replaced with a thick white fur coat along with her very long whiskers. I never shave their whiskers as equine use these for feeling when navigating their surfaces in short they need these long whiskers.  When the equine breaths into the cold powerful breaths of warm air come out into the air creating a beautiful swirl around their muzzle, oh how I miss riding in the trails and our arena.  Lily is truly a magnificent horse, she is the lead mare taking care of her herd of donkeys, she is waiting patiently for me to get well and no doubt looking forward to going back to work. 

If you get a chance to volunteer, work, or the best opportunity “Have an equine as your partner” you will be thanking GOD for the creation of these magnificent four-legged angels sent to earth to help us humans navigate this thing called life.

GOD bless you and your family two and four-legged!
