Storms of Life— Where is the Peace?

Thunderstorms.

Tornadoes. 

People dying.  

But miracle stories of survivors in the rubble.

More storms to come this season. 

People learning to care for their neighbors.

Helping people they rarely talk to. 

Sacrifices made.

Searching for peace tonight.

The Lord will take care of His people.



I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
   where does my help come from?
My help comes from the LORD,
   the Maker of heaven and earth.
 He will not let your foot slip—
   he who watches over you will not slumber;
indeed, he who watches over Israel
   will neither slumber nor sleep.
 The LORD watches over you—
   the LORD is your shade at your right hand;
the sun will not harm you by day,
   nor the moon by night.
 The LORD will keep you from all harm—
   he will watch over your life;
the LORD will watch over your coming and going
   both now and forevermore. 
~Psalm 121~

Horses...A picture post

Over Easter break I was able to see the colt again.  He has grown a lot!  I am excited for this summer when I will hopefully get to see him more often.  Of course I took pictures.
He is a lot more skittish now that he's older so he spooks more easily.
His mama.  Isn't she gorgeous?!
 And a one more of him...so beautiful!
The other mares came to visit while I was taking pictures so I took some of them too. 
 This one was really friendly.

Do you give the horse his might?
         Do you clothe his neck with a mane?
Do you make him leap like the locust?
         His majestic snorting is terrible.
He paws in the valley, and rejoices in his strength;
         He goes out to meet the weapons.
He laughs at fear and is not dismayed;
         And he does not turn back from the sword.
The quiver rattles against him,
         The flashing spear and javelin.
With shaking and rage he races over the ground,
         And he does not stand still at the voice of the trumpet.
As often as the trumpet sounds he says, ‘Aha!’
         And he scents the battle from afar,
         And the thunder of the captains and the war cry. 
~Job 39:19-25~
