More than all the blades of hay in this photo is how much my heart loves you, Benjamin. ❤️

In the hush of the stable, the animals knew before the people did.

The ox felt it first—a warmth that eased his weary joints as he breathed out slow clouds into the cold night. He leaned closer to the manger, lowering his great head, sensing a peace deeper than sleep. Beside him, the donkey shifted softly, careful not to stir the straw. He had carried the young mother farther than his legs believed possible, and now his tired heart swelled with a quiet pride.

The sheep, pressed close at the doorway, fell silent. No anxious bleating, no restless hooves—only stillness, as if an unseen Shepherd had counted each one by name. Even the mice paused in their scurrying, whiskers twitching, aware that this child changed the shape of the world.

Above them, a camel knelt awkwardly outside, led by distant travelers who would come later. He gazed toward the light spilling from the stable, star-reflection shimmering in his dark eyes. Creation itself seemed to bow.

When the child cried—small, human, and new—the animals did not startle. They leaned in. Breath warmed the air. Hearts, wild and tame, beat in a shared rhythm.

For unto them, too, a Savior was born.

Not crowned, not armored, but resting among hay and hide and humble breath—Christ the Lord, come first to those who could offer nothing but presence, patience, and peace.

Luke 2:11

Well said. ❤️‍🩹

This is what many people don’t want to deal with: aging, the slowing down and the extra steps it takes each day to keep an older horse going. It’s sitting in the barn long after the rest of the chores are done, waiting patiently while they work through their warm mash, knowing their teeth aren’t what they used to be and their body needs more time than it once did. It’s listening to the steady sound of them chewing while the world slows down around you. It’s realizing that what used to take minutes now takes patience.

It’s watching joints stiffen on cold mornings and standing there longer than planned, giving them time to loosen up before asking anything of them. It’s layering blankets just right, checking weather reports more closely than ever, adjusting and readjusting because comfort matters now more than convenience. It’s scooping supplements, soaking feed, scheduling farrier visits more carefully, and noticing every small change, because the small things matter most.

It isn’t always easy. Some days it’s exhausting. Some days it hurts to see the years written so clearly on a body that once felt unstoppable. But they gave you everything they had. They gave you their best year, their strength, their soundness, their heart. They carried you when they didn’t have to. They trusted you without hesitation. They showed up on days when you didn’t deserve it and forgave you when you made mistakes. They taught you patience, courage, and humility long before they ever needed it in return. They gave without question or complaint.

So when their steps slow and their needs grow, this is where we show who we really are. This is where love looks like time, like consistency, like choosing them even when it’s inconvenient. Love looks like staying late, spending more, doing more, and asking for nothing back.

The least we can do is give them patience, kindness, and dignity in their twilight years. To make sure they are warm, comfortable and safe. To let them age without fear or neglect, surrounded by the same care they gave us so freely.

Because they carried us.
Because they earned It
Because they deserve nothing less.

On November 21st, we had to say goodbye to our sweet rescue donkey, Faith. 💔 It has taken us some time to find the words, and even now they still feel too small. Grief asks for patience, so we’ve been giving ourselves the space to feel the weight of losing her.

Faith came to us with a gentle spirit and a story marked by hardship, yet she carried herself with a quiet strength that inspired everyone who met her. She reminded us daily that love can heal, that trust can be rebuilt, and that even the most fragile hearts can be restored. Watching her learn to trust, to relax, and to simply be was one of the greatest gifts we’ve ever experienced.

Letting her go was one of the hardest things we’ve ever had to do, but it was the final act of love we could offer her. We’re holding onto the comfort that her last chapter was filled with the love and care she deserved.

It eases the pain knowing now that you are fully restored, running free in the pastures of heaven. No more pain, no more limits… just lightness, freedom, and joy.

Rest easy, sweet girl. You were so loved.

“Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.” - Pslam 23:4
