My Quarter Horse mare, Sugar, leads a rather unassuming,
obscure life. She’s never graced a show
ring, cutting pen, rodeo arena, race track, or parade route. She’s never won a
ribbon or garnered a check. No one has ever cheered for her performance or draped flowers over her neck.
But that’s only because people have never seen
Sugar sleep. If sleeping was an equestrian event, I dare say she could compete
with the world’s finest. Sugar sleeps so soundly and dramatically that many a
concerned onlooker has mistaken her for dead or dying. And Sugar doesn’t need a sunny hillside or warm bed of straw to induce deep slumber. When this
photo was snapped this morning, it was only 1° F!
“Take My
yoke upon you and learn of Me…and you will find rest (relief and ease and
refreshment and recreation and blessed quiet) for your souls.” –MATTHEW 11:29
