God has a way of showing us lessons that we did not
anticipate learning. The past year or so
has been a time to remember but a time to let go. As we traveled the journey that would take
us into the valley I found my faith being tested on a daily basis. Loss was going to be our friend for many
months. The loss of our beautiful
horses, dog and cat was throwing me into a state of deep grief. Brain fog was my friend. I was sad, angry, happy and I felt
alone. Alas, God was going to be my
best friend and each and every day I would turn to him and say what is the
lesson? Do I need to quit? What are you telling me God? Psalms 23 came to mind a lot. Even when I walk through the dark valley of
death, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me. Your rod and your staff protect and comfort
me. That would be my friend for days,
weeks and months to come
It was a time to pull out all the blessings so that grief
and sadness did not overtake me. I was
so blessed. After all I had God as my
best friend. So many beautiful memories
of Blue, Bo, Sonny, Snickers, Shadow, Kiley and Buddy, they touched hundreds of
lives with their special personalities.
Their unconditional love changed lives including mine. I am so honored and blessed to have known
each one of these beautiful animals. A
time to remember: I had a wonderful
husband that supported me through the struggles. I was not going to give up and he stood by
me. I am blessed to have a beautiful
Grandson that kept telling me Grandma it is ok the angels took them and they
are with Jesus now just like in the book “Heaven is for Real”. I am blessed to have a new beautiful storage
building. I am blessed with a roof and
food and time for reflection at Clear Lake.
Blessings with a beautiful friend in my coaches that are still teaching
me the lessons I was to learn. I have so
much to be thankful for, the beauty of nature, the beauty of animals, the
wonderful support system and yes my God.
I would not have gotten through this and put one step in front of the
other without my faith.
A time to remember: My beautiful friends are now at peace
and I miss them deeply. I also know that God gives us a short time with them
and we loved them, cared for them and enjoyed and cherished the wonderful times
with them.
Ladies and Gentlemen remember the beautiful memories,
cherish each and every day and feel blessed that we are honored to have a
beautiful time to remember.
