Palm Sunday

We celebrated the day Jesus entered Jerusalem on the foal of a donkey. Craig Stickling had the service this morning. The Stickling family had more than just Palm Sunday to celebrate, after months of waiting for a kidney for Allison, a kidney became available. Marsha, Allison's mom had just attended the funeral of her father on Friday. She shared this with us: The last thing I told my Dad before I left the hospital was when he got to heaven, he had a job to do, divine intervention for a new kidney for Ali...and just as he was with his semi here on earth, he was prompt.
The donor family needs prayers as they had to say good-by to their 17 year old son.
Willis had our communion service which was held in place of afternoon service. Emily was in Forrest for morning church but made Peoria for the afternoon. The only problem was she needed to come directly from Forrest to Peoria to be on time and didn't have time to stop in Hanna City to drop off the truck and trailer. It just looked pretty funny seeing the Horsemeister truck and trailer in the church parking lot. It had rained while we were in church but not hard and it was still warm outside. The mares were teased and only Jenis covered. Jenis and Evan were both wormed with Quest Plus. We will work on worming the rest of the horses tomorrow. Hadassah was also still in but with Killian so young we can't use him 2 days in a row. Hopefully she will still be in tomorrow. Rhoda stopped at the horse auction at the Heart of IL arena on her way to her house sitting job. She was looking for trailer ties for the new trailer, they didn't have any but she bought a couple of girths. She almost bought a pony for $10.00. Thankfully she passed on that, we just don't need any more ponies!
The weather has turned it is now cold and rainy. Emily put Zalena, Holly and her filly in for the night.
