MARKINGS

_________________________

Psalm 121:1-8 (NRSV)


I lift up my eyes to the hills --
     from where will my help come?

My help comes from the LORD,
     who made heaven and earth.
He will not let your foot be moved;
     he who keeps you will not slumber.

He who keeps Israel
     will neither slumber nor sleep.

The LORD is your keeper;
     the LORD is your shade at your right hand. The sun shall not strike you by day,
     nor the moon by night.

The LORD will keep you from all evil;
     he will keep your life.

The LORD will keep
     your going out and your coming in
     from this time on and forevermore.

MY brothers and I learned from our father to love reading. When one of us bought a book, we passed it along so that we could all read the same book. I always tried to get a book after my dad read it because as he read, he marked his place by pressing his thumbnail into the page, making an indentation. When I read the book, I came across his thumbnail marks and smiled. My dad died three months ago. The book I'm reading now will be the last book in which I'll come across his thumbnail marks.

In a similar way, there are marks in our everyday lives that reveal where God's hand has touched our world. On an ordinary day, I see a flower, hear a bird's song, or feel a gust of wind; and it makes me smile. Those marks remind me that God was here before I was. They remind me that God is watching over us always and holding a place for each of us in heaven.


Prayer: Thank you, God, for unexpected evidence of your presence.
Amen.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
Where do I see evidence of God's touch in my life today?

-- Amy L. Garber (Michigan, U.S.A.)

PRAYER FOCUS: Someone whose parent recently died

FAMOUS QUOTES





"If your horse says no, you either asked the wrong question, or asked the question wrong."

Pat Parelli



"Horsemanship is not merely a matter of bodily skills, but is based on scholarship and, therefore, is a matter of the mind and intellect. Good horsemanship is based on proper character development and, therefore, is also a matter of mentality and spirit. Without the correct attitudes and insights, there cannot be the right sport."

Charles de Kunffy



"Courage, wisdom born of insight and humility, empathy born of compassion and love, all can be bequethed by a horse to his rider."

Charles de Kunffy



"A horse 'held in shape' by his rider is only posturing in a seemingly correct form, usually for the benefit of inexperienced observers."

Charles de Kunffy



"Speed is the enemy of impulsion."

Charles de Kunffy



"Competitive riding should be classical riding at its best."

Charles de Kunffy



"There are more and more peole who have no access to classical equestrian education or lack the will to purue it, riders who are intellectually lazy, are physically incompetent, and will gladly promote the notion that there is a new kind of dressage akin to technology."

Charles de Kunffy



"When God created the horse he said to the magnificent creature: I have made thee as no other. All the treasures of the earth lie between thy eyes. Thou shalt carry my friends upon thy back. Thy saddle shall be the seat of prayers to me. And thou fly without wings, and conquer without any sword. Oh, horse."

The Holy Qu'ran (Koran)
