BUCKWHEAT
PINNED TO THE TOP…NEWER POSTS BELOW
My Friend Frank is my hay guy…He brings me Hay for Mojo The Donkey and Pollyanna The Pony . He also brings me fresh bacon and pork chops . He is a Farmer .
Frank has a 2 year old Full Size Donkey …Buckwheat . It’s his pride and joy .
Sweet Beautiful Gentle Majestic Critter .
Now Frank is an unusual Character .Grew up in Foster Homes and Institutions. Has zero conventional “education” . Learned to read and write from a friend when he was in his 30s
He literally walks with God . He showed my how and why one day . He has His MRIs on his Phone . A few years back he got sick…Could not Poop for a week and was in a lot of pain. Walked in to the Hospital…they took the MRI and told him he had a large tumor in his intestines and it had to be immediately removed immediately . While they were running around organizing everything He told them he needs to go home and talk to his father before he decided . The Doctor told him he wouldn’t make it unless this was immediately addressed . Frank was 45 at the time so they were like…Your Father ? So anyhow he walked out of the Hospital with a picture of the Tumor..(He showed it to me when we first met)..it was huge .
He talked to his “Dad” …God …who he had met a few months prior after another traumatic experience. God told him to go lie down . When he woke up he vomited violently for what seemed like an eternity . Then EVERYTHING STARTED “MOVING” . He felt great . A week later he went back to the Doctor who had seen him and the Doc was shocked just to see him alive. He agreed to order another MRI
It’s on Franks phone…NOTHING …Gone ! I spoke with his daughter about this and she confirmed it was real . Anyhow Frank Talks to God all day every day and God talks to Frank .
Every day he finds someone who needs something and he stops to help them. he is a jack of all trades and there is nothing he cannot do . All through this area he is known as the guy you call when you need something fixed . Often he does it for free for those who need it. Whenever he is around there is a feeling of controlled calm . Mojo has had several Bladder operations and Frank is always there to trailer him to the Hospital and reassure us .
Buckwheat and Frank’s other animals are living on a Friends farm . The fellows wife happens to be a Large Animal vet . Yesterday morning Frank stopped by and was sullen. He had Bad News . Buckwheat had Foundered . Equines are prone to this condition..They go lame and sometimes it’s fatal . Usually due to a change in diet that causes a sugar spike …Metabolic disease is common in these critters. The vet farm gal was treating him for a month but the last 3 days he could not get up and could not eat. She was going to have to put Buckwheat down tomorrow ( today ). Frank was very sad of course and so was I . we both cried. I was thinking about Buckwheat all day yesterday.
This morning Frank shows up and I figure …thats it.
He says last night I decided to go to the barn and I brought God . Frank said God this little Donkey is only 2 years old. YOU created him . He lights up so many peoples lives. He never did any harm to anyone and then we prayed over Him . He recited to me the powerful words he was instructed to say …Then he lay down in the stall and put the Donkey’s head on his stomach and at 12 midnight he heard him yell loudly for a few minutes. Then silence and the both fell asleep. At 4:30 am Frank felt a tug on his coat and woke up..looked up and Buckwheat was standing up over him . Frank said he asked him what he wanted and Buckwheat “said” he was hungry..So they went out and found a patch of grass and Frank attached a flashlight to him and he started Grazing. When the vet showed up to do the “deed” she of course was astonished . She asked..HOW ?
Frank explained..
All the Farm hands love Buckwheat and they were checking on him for weeks and very distressed . Frank said that all that negative energy meant he could not recover. The act of pure positive “God” energy and love in the night quiet allowed him to recover .
This story is so Powerful so striking that I had to share it here…amidst all the negative that we are focused on…A miracle just happened .
So as you go about your Day ..remember Buckwheat .

Thanks for sharing such a beautiful and inspiring story!
Great story needs to be pinned to the top. I know Goldtent has a pretty large following but you need to get it picked up by as much of social media as possible. Would be great if it went viral.
Characters R Us.
We all have access to that same God within, yet, for the most part, we don’t acknowledge it. A wonderful reminder! Thanks.
Nice, thanks. We need reasons to believe.
The post of the year, if not the decade. Simply wonderful…
This website is the “everyman’s site” – a bit of wisdom here, a bit of beauty there, something for all in the midst of a sea of madness.
Well done, Fully…
Can’t speak to the religious aspect, but that is one handsome boy! I do love donkeys 🙂
Glad he has recovered and is doing well. Hugs and apple slices to Buckwheat and to your precious donkey too, FGC
