"For I know the plans I have for you", declares the Lord, "plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope". Jeremiah 29:11


Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? Therefore do not be anxious, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you."Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble". Matthew 6:28b-34

My Horse Roy

We had a bad shock this evening. We were out collecting sap with Prince and Roy, when Roy collapsed. He must have had a heart attack; he died before we could get him unhooked. I am heartbroken. Roy has been my horse and friend since he was born on my parents farm 19 years ago this spring. We were not pulling hard when he went down. It was so sudden. Of course I feel guilty for having him in the harness after all these years-but we just didn't know that he was having trouble. He looked to be in good shape, the only signs he showed of feeling off was trying to bite Prince. But he's always been the "boss horse" of the herd so we didn't think a lot of it. Please pray for me. I am in shock and can't quit crying. We are going to bury him in the morning, and Papa and my sister Erin are going to come to support us and remember my wonderful horsey.

    Hi Jessie,

    So sorry to hear of your horse Roy. I know that your grief is great, as Roy was truly a family member.

    The Lord is acquainted with your grief and His strength will sustain you.

    Be assured of my prayers,
    Vicki Beam (Carol's Mom)
