Dreamer the horse and Hope the lamb - Florabella Collection 2

Kyle (who originally found our lamb on the busy road) shared the above photo, and below is part of what he wrote... His words really touched me. I can't help but think our families weren't brought together by this lamb by accident...

What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and go in search of the one that went astray? And if he finds it, truly, I say to you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine that never went astray. (Matthew 18:12-13 ESV)
"This photo is the gospel.
This real story demonstrates how we can be found and placed in a family we never dreamed possible. How we can find shelter in the wings of one much mightier than our own ability of strife. How we can find new friends that can protect us from harm...harm we may have never knew was a threat.
Jesus loves me...this I know."

    1. Thank you! She's come a long way.... and for being less than 2 years old she is sooo tall... 16.1 hands maybe taller... she's sure to be 18 hands... and gentle as a lamb- maybe that's why she and Hope love each other so much :)
