My walk

A few months ago I was asked to join a Women's Nondenominational Group.  I usually shy away from that stuff.  I was raised Catholic and feel that religion or spirituality is very personal.  I had just lost my husband at the time and felt lost.  It was funny because the woman who asked me to join was being put in my path.   I did see her, but not too often and all of a sudden I was seeing her everywhere.  I felt it was God trying to tell me something.   Needless to say I joined and I am so glad I did.  Besides being more open about talking about God I've connected with women from different walks of life and have made some great blossoming friendships.   

This evening I was invited to one of the ladies house that I go to this group with.  She has a farm and some horses.  My children have been asking and asking to see horses and I called and asked her if we could come.  We had a great time.  It was amazing to see my 3 yr old in such awe.  He was very imitadated at first, but by the time we were leaving he was brushing the horse and just loving the experience.  They also had 4 dogs and some cats, the kids were in animal heaven.  It was great to see my middle son concentrate on brushing the horse and making him look shiney and beautiful.  Everything happens for a reason and I am so glad for the blessings that I do have.  I truly believe when God closes one door he opens another, sometimes we just have to look up and see the opportunities before us.
