Broken Hearts

-

 

Our son and his daughter heading into the great unknown at a horse show in OK.

A girl and her horse is a powerful relationship. Two of our granddaughters, 10 and 11 years old, live the horse show life. One in Utah is part of the Arabian world, the one in Minnesota a hunter jumper.   Before the younger was heading to Youth Nationals the horse she had shown for three years came up lame and could not go to the show.  A week later that horse had to be put down.  A broken heart can't begin to describe the devastation this was.

A family at the show, hearing the story, offered their horse and this brave, sweet girl got on a horse she had never ridden and won a national title!


Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. Galatians 6:2

As you listen to these song lyrics today my guess is either you or someone you love is dealing with heartbreak.  My husband and I have been in a season of seeing and feeling it over and over again with people we love.  The blessing in the brokenness is that God sees our heartaches too.
"My heart is breaking In a way I never thought it could.My mind is racing with the question, "Are you still good?"
Can you make something from the wreckage?Would you take this heart and make it whole again?"
The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.
Psalm 34:18

She Fought the Good Fight

February 27 Bible Gateway's verse yesterday was: This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him . 1 John 4:9 A fitting verse for the day my everyday friend, soul sister, monster of the faith and mischievous partner in crime, Kaye, left this world behind and headed to her heavenly home. My husband was able to be by her bedside and said he knew she heard the words of our faith that he shared. Her sweet daughter held the phone up to her ear so I could say good-bye and the brightest single star you have ever seen shown through my bedroom window as she exited this earth! Yesterday, my heart literally ached so badly that I told the Lord, "Take me too!" Wouldn't she have been surprised if I had snuck up on her in heaven and said, "Thought you were going somewhere without me, did ya." When we received the call she was ready to go, I called out to the Lord for comfort and He led me to the Bible Gat...

Toe Sucking

June 13 If I keep my eyes on God, I won't trip over my own feet. Psalm 25:12 …or allow them to be sucked off by carp!  For as long as I've been on this lake (49 years) we've gone to feed the carp at various marinas.   I have a bag of old bread waiting to be tossed to the carp tomorrow by our grandchildren!   There's a new adventure at a couple of the marinas.  Toe sucking!   For 25 cents you can buy a small scoop of peanut butter to go on your toes. Then the carp suck it off!   I just got a pedicure, so I have an excuse not to participate! What we do need to participate in is keeping our feet on the paths the Lord sets before us. Give careful though to the paths for your feet and be steadfast in all your ways. Proverbs 4:26

Mercy and Grace

  These three grands got wheels  for Christmas! Praying for mercy and grace! 2025 finds me launching off into a new Bible reading plan. Twenty five years ago when our daughter was living in Nashville, she had an amazing group of musician friends who would travel here for long weekends at the lake.  One of those young women is Tara Leigh Cobble, who now hosts a podcast called "The BibleRecap."   https://www.thebiblerecap.com/about On Day 5, while in Job, Tara Leigh addresses the difference in mercy and grace   this way. " Mercy  is when you don't get what you deserve. For fallen humanity, we all deserve hell.  We've sinned against a holy God and tried to elevated ourselves to His rank.  We deserve nothing but punishment.  The fact that we're breathing right now is God's mercy toward us.  Just like He showed mercy toward Adam and Even when they sinned in the garden, He hasn't given us the immediate death we deserve for our rebell...
