Today I learned about Daniel’s God… the time He saved Daniel from the lions den. It is a small story but so real. Yesterday morning, as with every morning, I stumbled out of bed in a blind daze. Let me explain. I have medical issues. Early mornings my balance is off for a while and vision is double. Not for a long time but at least 20 minutes. During that time I use the restroom,take my first pill (thyroid) make my morning drink, give baby chicks food and water then head back to take the other two to four pills. Depending on pain levels. Yesterday when i fed the chicks one flew out. I caught it and got it back in the pen and went back to get the rest of the meds. While waiting to get “started” I heard a chick squaking so I went back out. Remember, I’m doubly blind…every thing fuzzy and two of each. I kept hearing something but saw nothing but dark corners so I counted chicks and wouldn’t you know it, one short of a flock. Cats and dogs everywhere and sawdust floors as they are housed in a climate controlled building with a small space for me. Giving them constant care with someone always there to check on their well being… Even so, mornings are tough. So, back to Daniel. I prayed, telling my closest Friend I had lost a chick and did not even know because I never saw it escape. From the squawking I was sure one of the cats had chicken dinner. This is a chick, not a human. There are cats everywhere. Lil dogs in and out, outside cages that are open to the critters all day and one tiny chick. Anyway this morning, stumbling out to care for birds this tiny chick went scooting out in front of me over to a bucket and stopped. Cats froze and pointed (like dogs would) but made no move to grab. I was able to pick it up and put it back with the others where it helped itself to a big drink and went right back to doing chick things. This little bird is no bigger than a sparrow and near the same color but the “lion’s mouths” stayed shut over night and the baby lives another day. Sometimes just knowing the story is ok but seeing it… it drives home just how powerful our God is and how much he cares AND answers even the smallest of prayers. To His glory! His eye is on the sparrow (and chicks) and I KNOW He watches me…
God is good.

Just a ramble but read if you’d like ❤️

Dr. Longoria and I were talking Thursday about plans she has for a barn/clinic and things we wish we had here etc. We both agreed we are thankful to have had “nothing” as it makes us so grateful for what we have now, and striving for better to continue to help more. She was our vet when we didn’t have a barn at all. She’s watched us struggle and make improvements continuously. I’ve watched her make farm calls out of the trunk of a car when her main truck was down. And what she said to me is so true, “I’m glad we have had to struggle because it proves that you can do anything with not much at all, as long as your heart is in it and you’re willing. Look at all the lives we have helped with so little”. My new husband quickly learned that cleaning the barn is something I’m sometimes irrational about. I explained to him that I prayed for this barn, I asked God for it and he provided and I love to see it clean and full of life. I don’t take it for granted. It’s not fancy and we need at least one more this size, but to think back of all the miracles that have emerged from it a different animal than when they entered, I will always be grateful for it.

Dusty stands proudly in the meadow, her new foal nestled close to her side. The warmth of the sun dances through the tall grass, casting golden hues over the scene. Her two boys from previous years graze nearby, their coats gleaming in the sunlight. Dusty's maternal instincts are on full display as she watches over her newborn, a gentle nudge here and there to ensure the little one stays close.

The bond between Dusty and her foal is palpable, a mixture of protection and affection. As they navigate their way through the meadow, Dusty teaches her youngster the ways of the world, imparting wisdom gained from years of experience.

Meanwhile, her two older boys, now strapping young horses, playfully trot around, occasionally joining their mother and sibling in their explorations. It's a scene of harmony and familial love, where each member of the little herd plays their part in the intricate dance of life.
