It Ain't about the Bunny

Although adorable...



I hope folks focus on more than just the bunny this coming Good Friday/Easter weekend.



It's my prayer that people are called to Christ.



And don't turn their back on Him.

As our Wee House worship leader, John, notes, Jesus is a gentleman. 

He will knock on the door. 
He won't kick it in.
He won't bang on it with his fists until you respond.

He will knock.



Will you answer?

John 3:16

Until tomorrow, God willing, following the path of the cross.

Salt and Light

Who will you reach out to today?



There's so many folks who would love to feel your kind touch on their lives.



Even if you only touch one life...



That's enough. 



You hold that power in your hand. 

In your heart.



Don't let time slip away before you make your move. 

For the Bridegroom cometh...and until that glorious day, we are the salt and the light.

"You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men. You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven."
Matthew 5:13-16

Until tomorrow, God willing.

Perfect Timing

We are welcoming Traveler back into the fold again, after being gone 3+ years.



It appears his mission in life is to be best friends to young boys who love to ride.

So suffice to say, we are excited about him rejoining our herd.

Russ enjoys a ride back in 2007, testing him among mares, post-gelding procedure.



Traveler's timing to return is perfect,
as you will also be seeing Jordan hanging around more too.



We love having him visit, and enjoy his boyish ways.



And have grown fond of his heart-warming smile.



He enjoys his time with Russ, learning how to navigate the waters of life.



And learning the skills to slow down,
 to hear the tiniest drip from the paddle...
and see the world come alive before him, as an extraordinary young man.



There is a time for everything,

and a season for every activity under the heavens:

a time to be born and a time to die,

a time to plant and a time to uproot,

a time to kill and a time to heal,

a time to tear down and a time to build,

a time to weep and a time to laugh,

a time to mourn and a time to dance,

a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,

a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,

a time to search and a time to give up,

a time to keep and a time to throw away,

a time to tear and a time to mend,

a time to be silent and a time to speak,

a time to love and a time to hate,

a time for war and a time for peace.

Ecclesiastes 3

Lord, we thank you for your perfect timing...always.

Until tomorrow, God willing.
