Piloting Faith: If we stopped trying to control everything...

A Word for the Day...
In Frankfurt, Germany, you might catch a glimpse of Jenny, a horse who goes on a long walk every morning, all by herself. She has been taking the same route every morning for 14 years, ever since her owner, now 79 years old, became unable to ride. She enjoys greeting all of the familiar faces along the way, and she stops and gets treats and pettings from some of her favorite humans. The locals treat her like a celebrity and happily clean up after her. A piece of paper is attached to her halter that reads, “My name is Jenny. I didn’t run away; I’m just walking. Thank you.”
When we allow for greater freedom for each other in our world, we create the possibility for our world to surprise us. That is how God works.
