When
Zach was on his Rotary student exchange in India, he met a precious girl from upstate
New York. Anna’s attending college in California, but this weekend, she finally
made it to Wyoming. In a few short days, she got to run, hike, climb, meet
family and friends, and ride Sugar.
Anna’s
ridden jumpers, dressage horses, and ex-racehorses. She appreciated Sugar’s laid-back, Quarter Horse
personality. “It’s nice to ride a horse that doesn’t spook at every blade of
grass,” she quipped. For her part, Sugar seemed to soak up the attention of the
quietly confident, soft-handed rider who brushed her lovingly and kissed her
neck when she successfully negotiated a dicey steep trail. This sweet
Anna-Sugar combo made me think of a verse from 1 Peter:
“You should be known for the beauty that comes from within, the
unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is so precious to God.” –1 PETER 3:4
