Hope & her Horses
The minute I sat down on my beach towel, she walked right over and lay down next to me. She loves affection, and today I learned that she loves having her chest rubbed. If I stop rubbing her, she'll try to get closer to me so I start again - it's super cute.
All the horses are interested in Hope, and they visit her frequently. Her favorite seems to be Dreamer, but today she decided to give Mirabella some love too.
But it wasn't long before Dreamer found out about this and came over to see what was going on. I got some video of the three...
I do find it interesting that our two youngest fillies are the horses most interested in Hope. They are just so sweet with her, and she seems to love them.

Gifts in the Wait
In today's world, so many of us want instant results... we are too busy and are accustomed to streamlining all aspects of our lives. With smartphones, everything is at our fingertips, and we are used to being able to get want we want when we want it. I am no different. In fact, I've never felt more pressured and busy than I do right now; and I feel like I simply don't have any extra time.
But Hope is teaching me something... love can't be rushed. Love requires trust, and trust takes time. So in perhaps the busiest season of my life, I am learning to be still... to be quiet... to be patient. I'm learning that things can wait, that some things just aren't as important as I thought they were, and that some things are very very important and worth spending time on.
I'm learning to wait.
And there are gifts in the wait...
Like the first time Hope let me touch her while she was lying down and vulnerable...
And the moment that she fell asleep while I was sitting next to her and petting her.
My definition of a gift is something that makes your heart feel happy... and my heart feels so very happy. I have been blessed with this beautiful, gentle creature; and I thank God for the lessons and the beautiful gifts He is revealing through her... ♥
