In a world that celebrates the racehorses—the slick and shiny—it’s ok to be a donkey.

Donkeys get things done by being consistent, resilient, and resourceful. They serve tirelessly, yet know the value of rest, play, and pacing.

Stop competing, start serving. #donkeyprinciples

Sunday morning donkey. This is Henry, my prayer walk partner. If your prayer life is struggling may I recommend a four-legged friend may be helpful

[Rachel Ridge @RachelAnneRidge]

What this world needs is more donkeys and fewer show horses. More serving and less celebrity. More authentic leadership and less spectacle. Q’s: How can you serve someone today? How can you show up and work for the good of others? How will you bear another’s burdens?

[Rachel Ridge @RachelAnneRidge]

This big ol’ mug is my inspiration today. @FlashTheDonkey

Step into your bravest self today by being willing to try again.

“A gentle answer turns away wrath,” the Good Book says. In this time of angry words and posts, let’s do things the donkey way and meet strife with gentleness. Maybe then we will begin to see the healing we long to experience./end

[Flash & Henry the Donkeys @FlashTheDonkey]

Live gently today, my friends.

Everyone you meet is holding pain in some way. Sometimes that pain is expressed by anger. Sometimes it’s expressed in withdrawal, or depression. Sometimes pain is covered up by busyness or entertainment, or even humor. /1

[Flash & Henry the Donkeys @FlashTheDonkey]

But EVERYONE deserves a little kindness, a bit of softness. The benefit of the doubt. The assumption of innocence. A moment of grace. /2

[Flash & Henry the Donkeys @FlashTheDonkey]

Don’t underestimate the power of plodding. ❤️ Pace yourself, folks

The secret to being productive is to work on the right thing—even if it's at a slow pace.

Thanks to a new fence, my neighbors now get to wake up to my donkeys every day. It’s hard to have a bad day when you start off seeing this face @FlashTheDonkey !
