Love a Good Quote

Horses can't talk but they can speak if you listen.

I always love a good quote, especially when it can mean a variety of things to so many people. And it's always fun to decipher it's true meaning. We all know that horses can't talk, or can they?

 I recently caught a YouTube video of a talking goat. Yes, a talking goat. Although the only word he could say was, "What" and was able to repeat it several times to the gal who was feeding him, the word he muttered was clearly recognizable and quite amusing.

If I had to decipher the above quote on whether horses can truly speak, here would be my honest assumption:

Suppose you owned a horse as a pet just like most folks own a dog or a cat as a pet. You spend alot of time with that horse, you feed it, you take care of it and maintain it's health, and you ride it and enjoy spending time with it. These are all actions that show you love your horse, thus you actually have a relationship with that horse, you are connected to it. And by spending time with this horse you can probably tell when it is not feeling well or is hurt. It is so recognizable that what is happening is you are actually listening to it speak.

The above photo is one of a collection of photos I was selling at a fair last weekend. One gentleman saw this picture and asked how can anyone not believe in a Creator. Who else or what else could ever design something so artistic and beautiful as this?

God can speak to us through nature, but it is up to us to listen.

George Washington Carver, and American scientist and botanist, used nature as a way to connect to God,

"I love to think of nature as an unlimited broadcasting station, through which God speaks to us every hour, if we will only tune in."

One of my favorite Bible scriptures is found in Titus 1:15:

Blessed are the pure in heart for they will see God.

 Having a pure heart simply means you love God, desire to be in His presence, desire to talk with Him, and are willing to obey Him and His Word. Thus you should be able to see and hear Him through all of His creation.

God will speak to you you just have to quietly listen.
