Runaway Horse

Recently I got a horse. His name is Alabaster. Just a couple weeks ago he got off his halter and ran to our landlord’s house. I felt like getting rid of him, because I was furious that he would do such a thing. But Mama told me that I shouldn’t get rid of him just because I was mad. If I wanted God’s blessing then I would need to keep him. I thought about that a while and I decided that I wanted God’s blessing. So I have been working with him and I have found that I can love him a lot.
