We had quite a different service at church this morning. A man who uses horses as therapy was our guest speaker. He brought his horse, Hope, along and delivered a very thought provoking sermon using Hope as a prop. At one point he had Hope lay down and then more or less volunteered Steve to join him on sitting on her!
He encouraged us to trust God just as Hope trusts him. She doesn't always like what he asks her to do and at times she will get distracted and wish to indulge in something she enjoys (like eating) but ultimately she knows that her owner loves her and wants what is best for her and she follows his lead.
Afterward, time was given for anyone who wished to ride Hope. Julissa was delighted to accept the invitation.

Here's a couple of video clips of Julissa riding Hope.
Julissa said that as a girl, she always wanted a horse but now she realizes how much work and how time consuming it would be to own one. I think she and Josh are going to opt for a donkey instead of a horse in the near future. They certainly have their own little McDonald Farm and it is fun to see the additions they keep adding to it.
