Safe horseback ride home

When my family and I were staying in a hacienda on vacation, we decided to go horseback riding. While we were riding, it started raining and thundering, and the horses were frisky. I don’t horseback ride a lot, and I was getting scared. The guide came over to help me with my rain poncho. As I was trying to put it on, my horse was trying to run away. I couldn’t hold on to the reins and put on my poncho. The guide held on to my leg and the horse’s reins while I struggled with the poncho. I was praying silently, “Father-Mother, God, help me know this is Your pony.” I finally got the poncho on, and we started to head back to the hacienda.

As we were going, a second thought tried to come to me, “I hate this pony!” But I stopped myself at “I ha…,” and an angel thought said, “No, this pony is created by God, too, and since we’re both ideas of God, we are perfect.” I understood that both of us were governed by God.

Then, we rode back and my pony was quieter.
