Legend of the Donkey's Cross

" Bring me the colt of a donkey"

was the Master's request.

A young donkey was brought to Jesus

to carry Him into Jerusalem.

A week later Jesus was ordered to be crucified.

The little donkey so loved the Lord

that he wanted to help Him carry the cross.

But, alas, he was pushed away.

The sad little donkey waited to say 

goodbye until nearly all had left.

As he turned to leave, the shadow of the cross

fell upon the back and shoulders of

the little donkey.

And there it has remained,

a tribute to the loyalty

and love of the humblest of

Gods creatures.

You know you are a Donkey Lover if :

You have pictures of your donkey on your phone.

You kiss your donkey more than your husband

You can't wait to go to the feed store.

You can't wait to get to the pasture.

When someone comes to buy a donkey you have for sale, you tell them you don't have any for sale.

You pay more for your donkey's hair conditioner than yours and complain about the price of bread.

You go out in 20 degree weather to check on your new foal, but you won't go to the mailbox because it is too cold.

Misty came to live with us in April 2003,she was 6 months old.She cried the first night we had her and made us wonder weather we had done the right thing.We didn't know how neighbors would react to a night time braying donkey.Since that night is over we knew we had not made a mistake.She now only hollers when it is supper time.She is loved by anyone that comes around.Misty is expecting in July 2011.Thanks to our special friends Roberta an Mac from Yonder Farm for loaning us Ditto!! Please wish  us the best of luck in the arrival of a healthy foal !!
