" For God...So Loved the World...that He Gave...His Only Begotten Son...that, Whosoever Believeth in Him...Shall not Perish...but Have...Everlasting Life."
John 3:16
This is the first verse...I learned...as a very young child...
It touched me...so...
Still...does...
Hope you all...Have a Beautiful...Easter...
Love...to You...and Yours...

{ I remembered...thinking... at 5...when I first heard this verse...
I had just lost my beloved Pony..."Little Red"... to a drunk driver...
when the neighbor's Stallion...had run our horses... through the fence....
I remember...standing...with Dad...holding...tight...to his pant leg....
in the cold...on a dead end road...in the Early Morning...just...Sun Up...near... where we lived....{we had been driving the back roads....searching....for Little Red...for some time.... we came across the wreck...}
The Sheriff...and the driver...were arguing...
The driver was threatening...to sue Dad....for the damages...to his car...
I stood there...just... looking...at Little Red's...Lifeless Body in the ditch...
and...knowing...somehow...he was gone...forever..
The Officer...straightened the man out..... { God...Bless...The Sheriff's Department...}
I thought...when I first heard John 3:16.... how...Heart Broken I was....losing my Best Friend...
Little Red....
How God...must have felt...Losing...His Only... Son...
I'll Never....ever...forget...that....}

This is so touching as so many posts that you write. God loves you so much! You know that Little Red is on that Rainbow Bridge. And you will ride him again someday. May you have a wonderful Easter. My love to you, sweet friend~Always~Betty~
Happy Easter...to You...Sweet Betty...
I hadn't thought about Little Red...for a long time...and I wept...while writing the post...I learned to ride...on Little Red...Dad called him my babysitter... I would literally fall asleep on him... I learned to ride...before I could walk... The vision...was in my head...of his torn up body...in the ditch...for so many years...That was my very first...'Death'... of a loved one... I didn't cry... I really think...I was in shock... I was 4 years old...I cry...now...while writing this...dang it...
That Pony...and I had a Bond... and yes...he's with Dad...and Dolcey...White Cloud... Admiral...and all of my beloved... Soul Mates...
Thanks...Betty...for the kind words... You may never know...how very much...they mean to me...
Love...to you...
Sweet...Betty...
