A Lesson from a Wrangler
Our family trip to the Rocky Mountains just wouldn't have been complete without horseback riding up and down the scenic trails!
Despite the fact that I had never really ridden a horse before, I had to give it a try! :)
Just to be safe, I stayed close to the wrangler as he guided us as we guided our horses up steep hills and down narrow passages.
I watched carefully, prayed often, laughed a few times and listened to the wrangler share his cowboy tales and lessons.
Especially down the steep, narrow, rocky, uneven, mountain paths -
"What should I do with the horse?" I cried. (not literally...well almost!)
The calm wrangler simply replied, "Lean back, loosen the reins and let him find his way."
Not my natural reaction facing downward, but it worked!
Trey and his family face many, many mountains!
Trey's days right now are filled with sweet and silly walks in peaceful meadows.
Some days and nights, though, feel like Rocky Mountain peaks and cliffs!
Let's pray for Jay and Rachel to
continue to guide their children as the wrangler suggested:
Lean back
- May Jay and Rachel trust God for the doctors and the
current and future treatment plans. May they all continue to enjoy
Trey's strong health and silly antics!
Loosen the reins
- Please pray for the Mitlos to be able to
loosen the reins of fear and worry - and for Joe and Bella to continue
to communicate their feelings!
Let Him find His way
- "Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways submit to Him,
and He will make your paths straight."
Proverbs 3:5-6
