Fingerprint Friday: Nurses, Friends And Horses

My family had a pretty rough week last week. Our youngest had to have a medical procedure that left her feeling pretty traumatized. This week I have at least three 'fingerprints' I want to write about. The first is Nurse Erin who worked so hard with us through the night, she not only kept things going, she was so sweet with my daughter. The second are my dear Twitter friends who stayed up to chat with me when I could get away for a few minutes. The third was a few days later. A long-awaited family ride at the farm my oldest daughter takes riding lessons.
We had gone on a family ride in the spring which coincidentally was the same day as my youngest's birthday. So that was our big gift to her. She's been asking for months to go again. I was so thankful of the timing for the fall ride. It fell on the exact weekend we really needed it to. It gave us something to look forward to. I was a little nervous, though. The weather had been really rainy and gray for days (and weeks it seemed). But on the day of the ride, it was a perfect, note PERFECT fall day. Beautiful sunshine. Upper 60s. (And the bees left us alone!)
After such a stressful week full of tears and pain, it made my heart sing to see the absolute joy on my youngest's face as we rode our horses and ponies through the fields and forests. It was yet another experience that shows me how much God loves us. And how he is always right were we need him to be.
Fellow blogger Beki at Pampering You has a really great weekly post she does every Friday called "Fingerprint Friday." We are to look around and see where we can see God's fingerprints. Is it in nature? Kids? Animals? Anywhere? Go find out where Beki saw God this week, and be sure to check out the other bloggers who linked their stories as well.

That's great! I'm sure that was a special time.
You guys really needed and deserved that! It is a big bonus the bees weren't bothering you... this time! :)
I'm really happy you had this special time together, Ginny.
Love that story and how, like you say, God is constantly showing his love and care for us if we learn to recognize it. Thanks Ginny.
How wonderful - isn't God so great at bringing us just what we need when we need it?
Glad the rough week ended with such a wonderful ride. God is good.
