 God has instilled in the females of virtually every animal species the instinct
to be a good mother, and today's picture featuring a mare nursing her foal is an
excellent example. There stands mama, patiently waiting for her young'un to finish off what is undoubtedly a great meal
- an event that is
repeated several times a day by millions of mothers ranging from tiny field mice
to the mighty elephants.
Regardless of the species, a mother nursing her child is one of life's most
precious and obvious acts of love, the purest symbol of what it means to be a
mother. Taking care of her child until it is able to care for itself is the
ultimate responsibility - and sacred privilege - of a mom.
Every time I see a scene like the one above, I'm reminded of my own precious
mother, a wonderful woman who has spent her entire life caring for and worrying
about the development, heath, safety and salvation of her children and
grandchildren. Mom has lived a long and happy life due in large part to the love
and nurturing she received from her own mother - and that which she passed on to
her kids. And she is still going strong today.
About the photo: A wonderful lady by the name of Phyllis Helton took this
touching photo when she took her daughter to "horse camp" a few years ago.
Thanks for the great picture Phyllis!
