Bart definitely has a radically changed life from his wild days of youth, yeah. :good: Arthur. I'm way ahead of you my friend. You are a HOOT. Knew what you meant with your first post. Mums the word. :mdrmdr: Hmmm...what's up? :scratch: I’m not understanding this … You said “I hope you enjoyed this wonderful redemption story” about your friend Bart. But when Susan asked if Bart is saved … You said “its a difficult question to answer”? Perhaps when you visit him again … you can share the Gospel and see what his reaction will be? If he says I believe that … then you will know … if not … then perhaps he will become born again. Meanwhile we will be praying for him. Bart went from being a break and enter thief to being a calm and gentle individual. That's what I mean by redemption. I did tell Bart that Jesus loves him. I definitely saw him perk up at that. There is awareness there. Lest you think I'm not telling the truth, Bart has agreed to me showing you his picture. He is easily bribed since he adores organic apples. 😉 Bart, as I have previously told, has had quite a life. Bart was a wild/feral horse who roamed the plains and hills around Williams Lake, BC. (Maybe 4 hours north of where I live.) It's cattle country area up there. Bart is quite clever and kept breaking into the food storage on people's property, helping himself to the contents. He was also clever enough not to get caught for a long time. Declared a public nuisance, they finally shot him from extremely long range with a tranquilizer gun and captured him. Bart was taken to a farm where he was coralled with domesticated horses. Bart got along fine with the other horses as he is a very calm, well mannered horse. However, he had broken down the fence and all the horses had gotten out. The owners were furious with Bart and declared him a problem horse and wanted to get rid of him. Thankfully, an equestrian club in North Vancouver stepped up and came to take Bart. Upon their arrival, they discovered that not only were the horses underfed and malnourished but there was no water source for them. What Bart had done was he broke down the fence and then led the other horses to a stream to get a drink of water. So, Bart was exonorated and taken away from that terrible place. Bart progressed extremely quickly in being domesticated and really took to people. Best of all, one of the clients (an older couple) at the equestrian club had just lost her long time horse and were grieving. As it turns out, they were offered Bart and they turned out to be a perfect match. Bart is very calm, gentle and friendly. I really think he would make a great therapy horse. He was described as a true unicorn horse at the equestrian centre. Literally one in a million. Anyway, my friend and I had been working on the property repairing a fence. (I believe a bear knocked it down.) That is where I got to meet Bart. ❤️ He's such a sweetheart and we hit it off right away. (An organic apple or two didn't hurt. 😉 ) BTW, I did ask his guardian for permission to take and post pictures. As for Revelation 19:11-14, I would be absolutely thrilled to see Bart, the beautiful white horse (with auburn highlites) in that number. I do think this qualifies as a redemption story and I do believe we will see our loved animals in eternity. I'll introduce you to Bart. (Bring apples. 😉 ) PS. I actually did tell Bart, "Jesus loves you!" and he turned to me and lifted his ears up and twitched them. ❤️ Here's Bart the sweetheart: That is quite a story! Yeah! Bart's story really did encourage me and it was so nice to meet such a noble creature. He's come such a long way and he's now in a great place where everyone loves him. ❤️ Arthur, you really had us going! What a storyteller you are. Yes, it put a smile on my face today!
