Trust in the Lord

This spring we thought our sheep had hoof rot. I wanted to make sure my goat, Polyanna, didn’t have hoof rot. But when we smelled her hooves, they smelled the same way as the ones that did have hoof rot. I started crying because she was a dear pet to me and she was going to have babies in June. If she had foot rot, Momma said that we would have to get rid of her. When we were dipping the sheep hooves, I was praying that God would make me content to sell her. In that time He gave me the verses: “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct thy paths.”* (Proverbs 3:5-6) After praying, God made me completely content to sell her. About a week later, when we checked her hooves again she had no hoof rot and her hooves looked as healthy as ever. Praise the Lord!
