And the Caption Is…

Newborn foal with his legs crossed ©Maureen GallatinSome of you know I’ve been developing a line of inspirational greeting cards. Wednesday night this little fellow was born, and I got a kick out of watching him try to figure out his legs. He was only about 10 minutes old when I took this photo.

I thought it would make a cute card, but haven’t landed on just the right caption. Thought you might like to chime in. If so, send me your ideas.

As I walked back to the house, I thought how very fortunate we are to be horse lovers. Earlier in the evening, I had clicked around the TV and felt sad about the many shows that all centered around vanity – be the star, get it on, put it out there, etc. People desperate for validation. God gave you and me a love for something real – his creation – something that can validate us when the world doesn’t. And that’s something to be thankful for!

Scripture   … You are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.  1 Peter 2:9

Faith Hollers!

Pony in trailer hollering ©Maureen Gallatin

 

Desperation isn’t despair. This pony thinks he’s in a jam, but he isn’t giving up. He’s exercising his full faith in his people.

Life is going to put us in jams. Our faith hollers for God and his grace to rescue us – or at least hang out with us in the trailer.

****************************************
Prayer: Lord, Sometimes we’re in trouble and sometimes we just think we’re in trouble. In all cases, you are there when we call. We’re never alone, and we thank you for that.

****************************************
Scripture:
I cried out, “I am slipping!” but your unfailing love, O Lord, supported me.
When doubts filled my mind, your comfort gave me renewed hope and cheer.      (Psalm 94:18,19)

Sunday’s Coming!

 ”Good Friday,” Christians commemorate Jesus’ death on the cross on our behalf. It’s a somber day, a day on which we take seriously what happened 2,000 years ago. But the story doesn’t end there. The exciting part comes on Easter Sunday, when Jesus was raised from the dead. It’s the story of transformation, of redemption, [...]

Sadly, the [...]

Life Goes On

I thought you’d enjoy seeing a photo of this beautiful foal, born at Gunston Hall in Lexington, KY. He’s about five minutes old, and hasn’t even gotten to his feet yet. His mom is sure working hard to get him up, though. Newborns are always a reminder that God thinks life should go on. By [...]

A note to subscribers at Inspired by Horses — After a year off, “An Extra Flake” devotional emails are again available by free subscription. As horse people, it seems God “speaks” to us through a life with horses. For some, it’s a big “aha” they could write a sermon about. For me, it’s as if [...]
