We feel SO privileged to be trusted with such beautiful animals.

They are horses that a gal with the most compassionate heart has rescued out of situations and given a home until they are adopted.

Meeting and getting to know Sue has been such a blessing. Our mouths were hanging open when we found out she went to the same college I did, and lived where we used to live in Illinois!

What are the chances? A God ordained moment in our lives that made us smile so big.

We are thrilled to have these horses to care for.

And more thrilled to have Sue as a friend.

I think we are going to have a lot of fun with the horses. Don’t you?!

Happy Mother’s Day!!

Eliza brought me this gift. She told me “It’s broken, but Daddy will fix it!”

I am just in awe.

Nine months ago this beautiful child was an orphan.

Now she is a precious daughter, who made me a mother again, and who thinks her Daddy can fix anything.

Praise be to Jesus!

Happy Mother’s Day!!!
