Start and end

I am at a horse show. When you help with volunteer organizations you are expected to volunteer! So today I am sitting on my Throne high above the arena floor in the tabulation booth. It’s an interesting way to spend a Sunday. Enter numbers, save and tabulate but the coolest thing I get to do is start the class and end the class. I push the button to begin and push the button to end. Of course I pushed it at the wrong time. It’s useless because nothing happened. What makes the show exciting is what happens in the middle. You can’t place a class if you start and finish it in the same second; which is what I mistakenly did! Of course they don’t fire volunteers. So when we start life and God pushes the button, the part of life that makes us smile is the stuff between the start and finish. Anticipate, get excited but don’t rush it. Take it one horse at a time! And enjoy the ride! It may not be the most beautiful or exciting but it’s your ride. God gave you this time so ride it you stole it (a phrase from the horse world) . That’s means simply give it all you have until your ride has ended!
