Paying It Forward...Barn Style!

Paying It Forward


A term I am sure you have heard many times in recent years.


Doing something for someone ~ just because


Paying for groceries, gas, or lunch for the person behind you ~ just because


Helping a friend ~ just because


Today we had a wonderful opportunity to help out ~ just because


And ~ just because ~ ended up being way more than we could have expected


We showed up at our children's barn





Parents and kids alike


From every walk of life


Just because


We Love Miss Kristin


Just because


We wanted to help


Just because



Some began painting jumping poles



Some helped out in "memorable" ways





Some fixed water lines


and horse drinking fountains


Did you know that all the horses get their


own drinking fountains at Silver Lining




Many ~ like to drive SUV's


Just because




More helped paint jumping poles




Some had to enter the Dad's vs Mom's


Horse challenge and ride their children's horse


As well as wear their child's helmet~~~


This is my brother


Isn't he cute


Just because




Even my hubby got to ride


Just because


And...the Dad's won


That is probably because I fell off my horse...


Well, I didn't fall off


I just dismounted all the way to the ground:)

HaHa...NO Picture of that!




Completed Jumping Poles


Thank you to each and every person who came to Silver Lining today


I am in awe of our fabulous team


You are Wonderful


Hard Workers


And so much fun to hang out with


I enjoyed laughing with some of you


And...having you all laugh at me during my BEAUTIFUL dismount:)



Kristin,


Your team loves you so much


You have loved on our kids, some of them for years,


and never ask anyone to give the way you do


Thank you for being a special part of our families


We hope you enjoy our company


as much as we enjoy yours


I pray that today was a blessing to you


Praying, praying, praying!!!

  2. Looks like so much fun! How awesome.

    I'm with the first comment. When it comes to horses, I think I'd rather walk. I'm a scaredy cat! And I was raised on a farm!!

  3. Oh my, Cindy, I just saw your comment. I will be praying for you! You need to go a couple posts back on my blog and get a free meter. I don't know how long that promo will last, and even if they give you one from the dr's office, you really need two just in case. Keep me informed!
