Friendship

3/24/16 Friendships are a complicated thing. I have prayed many prayers to have good friends or a close friend for myself and for my kids. Friends are important. Everyone needs someone to confide in, trust, talk to, lean on, enjoy each others company, and just have fun with. I am always amazed at how a friendship can go on for years and so many good times and tears can be shared, special times, and memories. Yet, a friendship can be ended in one moment. One simple act or words can ruin a friendship. For some the friendship turns sour and bitter feelings come between the two. All those good times and memories become a blur and are forgotten and only bitterness remains. Why and how is that even possible? I do not understand. God has given me the understanding of what it means to truly forgive. Jesus is the utmost example of forgiveness and grace for us to try to live by. Through Him I can forgive. I may not forget, but I can forgive and put the past behind and look ahead. I know true friends are more precious and a treasure more valuable than than rubies. I recently witnessed something between Jayden and a friend, something so tiny and insignificant nearly cost them friendship. I pray for my children to have good relationships and friendships in their lives.
All you can do is be a good friend and treat others the way you want to be treated, show love, grace, and forgiveness.

Volleyball

Jake  went with Karen after school and to the field. My mom, Luke and I went to Jayden’s  Volleyball game in Coon Rapids.  They played 4 games all losses. They were not having a good serving night and that really hurt them.  Still enjoy watching them learn.

Treasures

 In the morning we took 3 of our 4 cats to the vet for shots. The 4 th cat decided to wander this morning missing his appointment. On our way out, we passed a rummage sale and stopped. We got some major treasures for next to nothing. The church ladies were so fascinated with Jacob's interest in old radios and televisions. They just adored him and marked the prices way down and gave him some for free. We loaded up on kids books, got some board games, and a few other treasures. Jake ended up with a mini  television , an old radio and Polaroid camera. After lunch the boys went straight to the field. My friend Carolyn and her daughter Tabby came to ride horses. What started out to be a chilly day 45, turned out nice and sunny. We had coats on, but it was a great day to ride. We rode through our hay patch and along the waterway near the highway. It was a great way to spend the afternoon.

Dayton Fun Show

 It has been cold and windy for the past week, highs of 45. Today the sun was shinning and it got up to 60. There was one final horse show for the season at the Dayton arena. We took Jayden and Jacob while Luke went with Grammer and Po and was supposed to come later. It was a fun show geared for practice and the kids. Jake did really well on Winnie, he rode in walk and trot, barrels, and poles. He did some loping. Jayden did pleasure, milk can, barrels, poles, and a jumping event. Her horse Tex really jumps high for the jump event. Down in the arena, there was'nt any wind and the sun came out. It made for a nice day.
