🐴'I Still Love Me Some Horses!'💜

💖🐴🦄 ‼️HORSES‼️ I AM DEFINITELY A "HORSE PERSON"‼️🐴🦄...Why do some people obsessively 💜 HORSES⁉️I do NOT know‼️GOD just made us this way‼️ 🦄🐴💖 It is as though we are born with a special "💜 for horses gene!" 🦄 I cannot remember a time when I did not obsessively 💜 them! 🐴 The saying goes..."One touch is all it takes to make a girl fall in love with a horse." 💖🦄 For me, it didn't even take a touch!  I was born with a 💜 for horses! 😊 But, why⁉️ I honestly don't know‼️ Maybe we 💜 them because, most of them, have a, gentility and gracefulness that, most human beings, don't seem to have⁉️ Most horses have an innate beauty, in their overall appearance, which, is noticeable by most people. 🐴 And, even if, a particular HORSE, is not necessarily, "pretty"...if it doesn't have a pretty coat, markings, shape, etc., there is still a beauty about it, which, was put there by our amazing Creator, Elohim (Hebrew), God, in my humble opinion‼️ May I offer you a "FYI," interesting "HORSE fact?"...HORSES have the largest eyes of any land mammal❣️🐴🦄❣️("thank you" 'Pinterest!")❣️The good Lord gave them their eyes large, for specific purposes, one of which, is probably, so that, they may be able to see predators, which, approach them - for prey, and, escape! 👁🐴💞Here are some descriptions in which Job (in the Bible) uses about the HORSE...Job 39:10-25 (please, go read it for yourself - in its entirety):  a God given STRENGTH, has clothed neck with THUNDER, the GLORY of his nostrils is TERRIBLE, mocked at fear, NOT AFFRIGHTED, FIERCENESS, RAGE, etc.! 🙌🏼 In - Proverbs 21:31 - the psalmist says that, the HORSE "...is prepared against the day of battle..." (this is more applicable to the past, and, the future, than to the present)! 📖 Then, in - Revelation 19:14 - it says that, "...armies...of Heaven followed HIM (Christ Jesus - I added) upon white HORSES..."! 🐴🕊The following is not based on Scripture, but, it is said that, "thunder is the sound of hoofbeats in Heaven," which has a bit of truth, based on what we just read in Job 39. 🕊🐴🦄 Maybe, this explains, not only, my 💜 for HORSES, but also, my 💙 for stormy ⛈ weather (not for having it constantly, but, every now and again)⁉️ Ha!! 🤣⚡️⛈🦄🐴😚 Most HORSE lovers, with whom I've been acquainted, are like me, in that, we 💜 everything about the HORSE...from watching them graze...to smelling their "HORSEY scent"‼️Ha‼️🤣🐴 I 💜to pet, groom, and especially, ride, them!🐴 OH MY...how I LOVE to watch them run, especially, when they are running free..."out in the open," without a person mounted upon them! 🐴 They have a gentleness that, can be seen in their big eyes!  They LET us tame, break, and, ride, etc., them! 🦄 Believe me, they are capable of, injuring and/or killing us, by stomping and/or biting! 😃🐴 Whenever, I was going through "My Great Depression," (pun intended 😂), my HORSES proved to be the best "human derived therapy," of all the various types in which I received‼️🐴😂👢👢Sometimes, that therapy came in the form of laughter! 😂 One early, stormy, wet, morning, I went out, in the pouring rain, to feed the "big babies" (hubby calls them "hay burners" 😗).  And, I wore a pair of huge, heavy-duty, rubber boots - over my "riding boots," which, had been my pappy Roy's (the rubber ones), who was the main culprit in the major growth in my passion of HORSES - by letting me, ride, etc., 'Queenie,' his workhorse, mare, as a girl...RIP - pappy Roy! 🖤 Anyway, our back yard was in between - our home - and what was - the fenced paddock/field area, where the " big babies" were impatiently waiting...neighing, stomping, pacing, along the fence line...for their breakfast (I was running a bit late - due to - the waiting for the rain to - slow down and/or stop)‼️ Well, it was very muddy out there, and, after about ten steps - off of the porch's concrete, with my feet gradually going deeper into the mud - with each step, I didn't realize that, my boots had actually gotten stuck, and, I continued "tromping" forward! 😳 So, my right foot came out, and then, landed in the mud! 😳 I almost fell completely forward, and then, backward, but, somehow, brought my right foot (covered in mud) back into the rubber boot! Yuck! 🤣 Needless to say, I was still stuck, as the rain poured, and the "big babies" continued letting me know that, they were hungry, and that, I was LATE - feeding them! 🤣 I had to yell really loudly for David, so that, he could, hear me, and, I could ask him to come out, and rescue me! We both had a BIG laugh‼️🤣🤣 I most likely woke up some of our neighbors! Eventually, David rescued me, the mud was sprayed off of the boots, the "bb" were fed, etc. ☺️😉😂 And now, it is a, fun and funny, HORSE memory (among many - of when I had my HORSES), upon which, to reminisce, every now and then! Such memories mean a lot, comfort, and minister, to me, etc., in this valley through which I've been going!!! 💞 😊😃🐴 We sold the HORSES, whenever, our teenage daughter became pregnant, because, I would be caring for the baby (Darius, who is now eighteen years young), so that, she could finish high school! 👩🏻‍🎓 Because, HORSES and babies (even - one of - either/or - a horse, and/or, a baby), are HUGE responsibilities, and, I wanted to dote on our baby ("grand angel"), which, ended up being an extremely good decision, because, he was born with a congenital heart defect! 💔 Imagine this - David took the electric fence down, sold it, put doors on the little HORSE barn, and then, began putting "JUNK" in it‼️ Thus, ensuring that, I would not get any more HORSES, later‼️ 😳🤣 At that point, as the 'pin' from 'Pinterest,' states, I decided that, I was going to TRY to..."become consumed with the Creator of ALL things, rather than with things created (HORSES included)!" 🙌🏼✝️💜 Don't get me wrong...I still 💜me some HORSES, and, probably always shall, but, I am trying to SIMPLIFY my life, and, castoff the extra "worldly weights" (Hebrews 12:1), as much as possible, which helps "free me up," to DO God's will for my life (for which I am desperately seeking - at this time)‼️🙏🏼✝️📖🕊🙌🏼💜...👋🏼...until next post...
