Horses
are a way of life for so many of us. There is something about
horse people that make us unique. No matter what breed we ride
we all share that common bond of the love that we have for these
beautiful creatures that God has given us. So, Our hope is that
the story we are about to share with you will indeed inspire
your heart
My husband, Larry Stewart and I
would like you to meet a family who came into our lives because
of horses. Our hearts have been deeply touched as we saw them
struggle as their youngest child, Austin who was diagnosed with
A. L. L. Leukemia in April 2001. Austin underwent multiple
series of chemotherapy He was such a brave little boy to face
all those treatments he underwent each week. It is so difficult
and heartbreaking to watch this child suffer and not be able to
take that pain away from him.
As each week passed, the
chemotherapy has changed this little boy and made him face fear
and pain that no mother would ever want her child to experience.
However, he nor his family, friends, and anyone that knew Austin
ever gave up on the power of healing. Prayer is such a powerful
tool.
I am so happy to tell you that
Austin ended his chemotherapy treatments in June of 2004 and is
now in remission. Our hearts overflow with happiness for this
family but we are deeply saddened because we know there are so
many others that need our help.
