Best Gift

When one turns 55 years old there is really not a lot of worldy things one needs. So my children gave me a wonderful gift. We all went out to eat then to Church to worship our God and King. Craig had the service opening first to 1 Chronicles chapter 11 and bringing out how people wanted a king when God is the King of Kings. How we need to remember our God IS the King of Kings. He talked a little of Saul and his death before reading about king David. The second opening was Luke 12. He brought out how Jesus used the example of the ravens, they neither sow nor reap and yet God feeds them. Craig reminded us that Jesus didn't pick an Eagle or dove but used the example of the lowly raven, a bird that is ugly and noisy and yet even the least bird God cares for. Consider the lily's of the fields, even Solomon in all his glory is not as beautiful. We are to seek FIRST the kingdom of God. We are to lay up our treasures in heaven not earth for where our treasures are, is where our hearts are. This sermon was so much more than what I'm writing, How blessed we are to have the true Word of God preached in our humble church.
Mike took a load of horses out to Middle Grove but took the wrong walker. He was suppose to take Clara and her colt and instead took Sophie. Sophie will just have to be brought back later. She is in season now and bred today but should be checked on Friday. Oh well Raven's semen last way longer than 48 hours so that is probably not a problem, just I have a ultrasound scheduled for her on the 29th along with Wynne's and if I don't know exactly when she goes out of season I won't know if we should change the date of the ultrasound. Dr. Hoerr will do the ultrasound no sooner than 14 days after the last day bred.
Tomorrow Karin, Rebekah and I will be hauling Ribbon up to Madison, WI for the Midwest Horse Fair. We won't be back until Sunday night late. Hopefully I will have internet but if not, all emails will be answered after we get home.
