FAMOUS QUOTES!




"Elegance on horseback consists of a straight and free position as a result of a well balanced body: as a result the rider maintains, during all the movements the horse makes, without losing his seat, as much as he is able to, in an appropriate balance, an air of comfort and freedom, which makes him an elegant rider."

Francois Robichon de la Gueriniere (1688-1751)



"Pignatelli, convinced by his own experience that the function of the bit is rather top let the horse know what the rider wants than to constrain the horse, said that if the bits had of their own the miraculous quality to make the mouth of the horse and to make the horse obedient, both rider and horse would be set up after a visit to the tack shop."

Francois Robichon de la Gueriniere (1688-1751)



"The knowledge of the nature of the horse is one of the first foundations of the art of riding it, and every horseman must make it his principal study."

Francois Robichon de la Gueriniere (1688-1751)



"Horsemanship is the one art for which it seems one needs only practice. However, practice without true principles is nothing other than routine, the fruit of which is a strained and unsure execution, a false diamond which dazzles semi-connoisseurs often more impressed by the accomplishments of the horse than the merit of the horseman."

Francois Robichon de la Gueriniere (1688-1751)



"Grace is so great an adornment for a rider, and at the same time so important a means to the knowledge of all that which is necessary for persons aspiring to become riders, that such persons should willingly sped the time required to obtain that quality at the outside of their endeavours."

Francois Robichon de la Gueriniere (1688-1751)

BRIGHT, GUIDING STAR

_________________________

Hebrews 1:1-4 (NRSV)

Long ago God spoke to our ancestors in many and various ways by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by a Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom he also created the worlds. He is the reflection of God's glory and the exact imprint of God's very being, and he sustains all things by his powerful word. When he had made purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, having become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs.

_________________________

Wise men from the East came to Jerusalem, asking, "Where is the child who has been born king of the Jews? For we observed his star at its rising, and have come to pay him homage."

-- Matthew 2:1-2 (NRSV)

_________________________

EVERY Christmas the world rejoices. We make preparations with care. Gifts are exchanged; and we celebrate with music, dancing, and banquets. But often we forget to seek the One whose birth we celebrate.
Even though we do not ask, "Where is the child?" God continues to beckon to us. Just as the star drew the Magi, so God draws us to Bethlehem and to the child.

This year we can make Christmas a reality in our lives. Christ is willing to live in us and to bring Christmas to our homes every day. Christ gives meaning and peace to our lives and asks us to invite others to celebrate the birth of the Savior.


Prayer: God, give us joy in communion with you. Thank you for your
son, Jesus Christ. Amen.


THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
God invites us to "find meaning for our lives in Christ."

--Ramon E. Garcia Borges (Cuba)

PRAYER FOCUS: Those who do not know Christ
