God's blessings

And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19

After writing a sermon, I felt more inclined to write another one. After writing about how God protects me and makes a path, I thought about how fortunate and blessed I am. After listening to my peers sermons, I decided to write a blog about one of my favorite memories including a mini pony and my mum. That way, it added more of a community element

All of a sudden I turned around to the sound of tiny hoofs striking the cement. My eyes widened with joy. I was stunned with excitement. The tiniest little horse was gazing up at me. Her little doe eyes just blinked and I knew I had found my new best buddy. My mum exclaimed, “Surprise!” and handed me the hot pink lead rope. I looked closer at my new best pal and saw the name “Jelly Bean” in gold across her purple noseband. Jelly Bean was my new miniature horse. She was the prettiest little strawberry roan pony and her mane was as white as a swan. She had four perfect white socks each sparkling clean. She was so small she barely hit my thigh even when I hardly was four feet tall.

            I gently lead my pony to a French patch of clover. There I looped the lead line over he neck and sat down right beside her. I listened to her peacefully much on the emerald clover and ran my pink painted fingernails through her long mane. I traced the outline of every muscle with my palm and tied bows and braids in her wavy tail. I just sat there with the sun kissing my forehead and the grass tickling the backs of my earlobes. All I could imagine was how picturesque that afternoon was and how warm and magical it felt.

            As I crawled into my canopy bed that night, I replayed the events of my fairy-tale day back in my head. All I could think about was returning back to the stable on Saturday and spending the same kind of say again. Just sitting there enveloped by sun and fresh grass, looking up at the golden sun, smelling the fragrance of fresh roses and alfalfa and laying with my very own unicorn. God’s perfect creation.
