Share Jesus Everywhere

 


Many of you know I love to ride horses.  I have been taking lessons at a local stable for about twenty years.  Over the years I have had many horses and many trainers.  I have had the joy of showing the love of Jesus to many of the trainers.  One man began working there just before I came.  He worked there for about 16 of the years I have been there.  I worked with Mom and we shared Jesus with him.  He was not always my trainer, but he was always there, being sure I was safe and learning.  Four years ago, he was transferred back to his home town.  I had him his last day there.  He told me he still had the Christmas CD I had given him years before.  He walked us out to the entrance that day.  We turned back to wave at him one last time.  He waved back, but he was crying.  I pray he remembers not me, but that God loves him.  I pray he trusts Jesus. I choose to trust Jesus to show him other believers who will show him the love of Jesus, the way to faith. I pray others at that stable see Jesus in me!

Thank You, Dad!

 




Ah, Father’s Day!  It is a day to say “Thank you, Dad, for being my dad.  For me it is a day to say, “Thank you, Dad, for choosing to adopt me in all my imperfections.  Thank you for leading me to Jesus!  Thank you for loving me!  Thank you for teaching me to obey you and God.  Thank you for loving me enough to discipline me.  Thank you for challenging me to rise to my potential. Thank you for reading me stories, even now that I am an adult.  Thank you for showing me how to be a faithful man of God!  I really love you, Dad!  I admire you!”
