Jane, I love those “old days’” scenes too. People greeting one another, horses and carriages, the dogs in the streets, it just seems like happiness all around. They enjoyed things more in those days than we do as we hustle bustle around Christmas shopping and doing the million things we have to do. We don’t have a lot of time just to “enjoy”.

And, I thank you!

I’m having to find bigger frames as some I have are quite lengthy. But well worth reading. :)

The Horse And Her Boy

December 14, 2011

When I was about 5 years old, my father decided that I needed a horse of my own to care for. So he bought an old bay mare and brought her home to me. I named her Dixie.

Dixie was a formidable beast for me at my age and small stature. No saddle was small enough, no stirrups short enough for my legs, so I rode bareback most of the time.

Dixie was plump, which meant that my feet stuck straight out, making it difficult to stay astride. But whenever I fell off, Dixie would simply stop, look at me, and wait while I tried to climb on her back again. This leads me to Dixie’s most admirable trait: She was wonderfully patient.

I, on the other hand, was less than patient with Dixie. Yet she bore my childish tantrums with stoic patience, never once retaliating. I wish I could be more like Dixie, having patience that overlooks a multitude of offenses. I have to ask myself, “How do I react when others aggravate me?” Do I respond with humility, meekness, and patience? (Col. 3:12). Or with intolerance and indignation?

To overlook an offense. To forgive 70 times 7. To bear with human frailty and failure. To show mercy and kindness to those who exasperate us. To gain such control over our souls—this is the work of God.

God of grace and God of goodness,
Teach me to be ever kind,
Always gentle and forgiving
With the Savior first in mind. —Brandt

Love that is born at Calvary bears and forbears, gives and forgives.

Read: Colossians 3:12-17

[We are] strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience. —Colossians 1:11
Bible in a year:
Joel 1-3; Revelation 5

Hey folks, I will be here WHENEVER! I have an outside painter doing the trim on my house and I hate workers around me. He’s had to knock on the door twice already. I am going to be working upstairs today so I will be here if and when I can. ((((Hugs))))
