"On a beautiful summer day,
Mick, my daughter Beth, and I
saddled up our horses and went
on the loveliest trail ride I’ve ever
experienced.
Near the creek, we stopped to
water the horses and take a break.

“It’s a great place to worship,”
I said.

Mick agreed. “I feel close to Him

My daughter and I met Mick twelve years ago. Our horses are
stabled at his farm.
To us, Mick was the best example of a cowboy and friend.
Beth thought of him as another grandpa. He knew about his
horses and Beth learned everything she knows about horses
from this great teacher.

Mick enjoyed riding his horse along the long paths and creeks
of his beautiful farm. He spent hours working the soil with his
plow pulled by two horses.
He taught Beth about seeding, growing, and cutting hay using
his old fashioned tools.
God made a good man. Mick loved others unconditionally. When
Beth was with him, she felt safe, cared for, and loved. He was a
man of few words, never saying anything to hurt in any way.

It’s a comfort and a joy to know when we labor for the Lord, He
remembers us.
He plans our rewards, builds our personal mansion He prepares
for us.
When our lives and love reflect Christ, He writes our names in
His book and assigns our house number.
I have the hope of the Lord’s promise of eternal life, and one
day I’ll have a heavenly reunion with a man who touched my
life in such a simple way.
You have that same promise. Work. Love. Obey and be assured,
somewhere down the road, your name is written there too.

Today’s quote: Cleland B. McAfee’s “Near to the Heart of God”:
"There is a place of quiet rest,
Near
to the heart of God,
A
place where sin cannot molest,
Near
to the heart of God.
O
Jesus, blest Redeemer,
Sent
from the heart of God,
Hold
us who wait before Thee
Near
to the heart of God."
Our thought for today: Letting others into our lives is a challenge.

Editorial Review of So You Plan to Marry a Man
by David E. Fessenden:
“Most books of poetry are tiresome, with trite phrasing and nocentral theme. Jean’s work is a refreshing difference, with a clear,
thematic devotional structure and wording that is original without
being obscure.
Best of all, she infuses her verses with strong biblical teaching,
which makes for a rewarding devotional experience. Take a look ⎯
