At church today we heard about being a servant and having a servant heart. Dave Obergfel had the morning service and spoke of the the thousands of years that have gone by since that first palm Sunday and yet we are still reading and thinking about the owner of the ass and colt of an ass that was willingly lent for Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem. What can we lend, what can we give?
This set a somber tone for the afternoon communion service. There was much time for reflection of the sacrifice Jesus would make just a few days later.
On the way home sadness started creeping into my heart of the ones missing. Why does there need to be a separation? How long before we reach our REAL home?
Once home from church just had time to change when Rhoda called with the news that Ciera was sick and maybe colicking. Rhoda was told where the banamine was and that I would leave NOW. Didn't even get a block before Rhoda called back to tell me she was wrong, Ciera was fine, just having a good roll. With both Sangria and Lily having colic surgery in the past I think we just panic sometimes.
Rhoda, Sarah, Karin and Mike were getting ready to go trail riding and after the ride the girls had some fun in the field. The video camera was in the car so we had some fun taping.
By 6:00pm it was time to put everyone back for the night. Mark showed up with one more load of tools from the garage along with some gutter extenders. Once those were up I headed home for dinner.
We are so coming up this summer and doing this with you guys, the girls want to take our horses swimming in your ponds and would absolutely love frolicing through the pastures like this, most of their riding is done in show arena's or indoor practice arenas
