Nellie knew☀️🙏🏻

Nellie, our precious pony ferried us to Holy Mass every Sunday morning. Five miles to the compact country Church, five miles back home again. No extreme safety measures, no seat belts. Old coats underneath us providing some respite from the hard cart. Our dear Mom must have worried so!

In all those years the nearest we came to having an accident was the time two little elderly ladies had one of their car lights broken, trying to avoid us on a tight bend. Otherwise we were safe and sound, Sunday after glorious Sunday.

Today, myriad years later, it dawned on me!! Nellie knew that once she did exactly what was expected of her, trotting along, looking straight ahead the whole time, then all would be well. No wonder we were safe and secure.

Thank you Nellie from my heart. For taking us to Holy Mass of course but also for reminding me to keep on walking in the Gladsome Light of Christ. What I do not know will not bother me and what I need to know Holy Spirit will tell me and He does, the whole time.

Simple as that!!
