O give thanks to the God of heaven, for his steadfast love endures forever.
Harry trained Snow Man, and the horse served well at the
girls' school where Harry was the riding master. However, when
the school closed for the summer, a neighbor made a generous
offer for Snow Man, and Harry could not afford to refuse it. So
Snow Man had a new home.
Snow Man, however, liked his old home. Time and time
again he jumped the neighbor's high fences and returned to Harry.
Finally, Harry bought his horse back.
In that series of events, though, was a clue to Snow
Man's real greatness. Snow Man was a natural jumper, and the
horse that once jumped fences to return to his loving previous
master later jumped at Madison Square Garden for two national
titles! All Snow Man needed was the love and attention of his
master.
May we accept the love and attention of our master, so that our greatness will be revealed.
(Psalm 136.26
NRSV)
Snow Man was a nameless, gray-white gelding that Harry De
Leyer picked up cheaply at a horse auction. The only other bid
for the horse came from a glue factory.
God of grace, thank you for the unending love you have given to me. May I share it with
someone who really needs it. Amen.
