Flash’s “Country Cousin”, born and raised on Nina Bay Farm
Flash by Rachel Anne Ridge is a delightful, charming first hand account of her homeless donkey who taught the family about life, faith and second chances.
Artfully woven into each chapter are Bible verses…like icing on cake…the perfect topping (for great stories). Examples: Chapter 4: Run with horses. Proverbs 23:7 “As a man thinks with his heart, so is he” or Find your passion. Be a trailblazer. Psalm 32:8 “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you.”
Yesterday, I thought of Rachel and Flash (and the donkeys/burros at Nina Bay Farm). It was Palm Sunday. She reminded us on pages 160-1 that Flash’s ancestors had historic roles in the life of Christ. Beginning with Mary and Joseph during his humble beginning, as well as Christ’s journey the through Jerusalem which ends at the cross. In Rachel’s words, “God using the ordinary to do extraordinary feats”.
