"Tell Jesus I said Hi...If you look, you can see Him"

       "This little boy saw his mother getting ready to go to the temple. He asked her to tell Jesus hi for him. His mother said 'I doubt I will see Him.' The little boy responded, 'If you look hard enough, you can.'"

        In Matthew 18:4 (in the Bible) and in Mosiah 3:19 (Book of Mormon) it speaks of becomming like little children. The purpose of this is for us to be willing to learn. Believing in everyone around us. Not knowing doubt, fear, bitterness, and so on.

       The little boy in the story knew that Jesus was at the temple. That is what he has been taught. He doesn't care about the things of the world. All he cares about is that his message to his Savior gets to Him.

       Now reread this story. Who is the one being taught? The little innocent boy, or the all wise parent?

       Look for Christ in all we do. Teach our children for they are the ones that will be teaching us someday. Set the example for them to fallow. For our Father and our Brother have done that for us already. But its up to us to be as a little child and look up to our great Father and loving Brother.

Breaking a Horse isn't Breaking at all, Its Building up

       When breaking a horse we don't correct him, when he does something wrong, to torture him. But rather we correct him to show him how to become better. Those who have ridden a well "broke" horse knows how calm and peacfull they are. We can trust them with our children or another inexperienced rider and not have to worry about them falling off and getting hurt.
  
       A wild horse, fresh to the ranch,  will not ever learn how to work or get along well with the other horses without getting correction, be it from the cowboy or the stud horse. It takes a a great horseman to tame a wild horse. But depending on the horse, if they are willing to learn, then even a young child could teach it a thing or two. It takes equall work on the horses' part and on the horseman's part to be able to give and recieve correction. Sometimes even the horseman messes up and has to take some breaking/correction from the horse. This is why they both need to be open-minded.

       If we put this into our own lives, whether it be us as the horseman or even the horse, we need to learn to take the correction that is given with an open heart. This way we can be that 'horse' that everyone can trust with those they love. For without that trust, we might just end up in the NFR Bronc Ridding events.
