My Friend, The Rancher

I VISITED A VERY GOOD FRIEND OF MINE THIS WEEK AND SAW AN ANSWERED PRAYER IN PROGRESS. MY FRIEND HAS BEEN IN PRAYER FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS for GOD TO PROVIDE FOR HIM A JOB TAKING CARE OF A WORKING RANCH. HE IS NOW A RANCH MANAGER FOR A RANCH THAT HAS OVER 20,000 ACRES, SOME 450 MAMA COWS, FISHING LAKES, HUNTING (ELK, WHITETAIL, BLACK BUCK, AXIS, TURKEY). DID I MENTIONED HE HAS FISHING LAKES ON THIS RANCH?

THIS AXIS CAME DOWN FOR A DRINK AND I STOOD IN AWE OF HIS SIZE. THE ANTLERS WERE FANTASTIC.

THIS TREE MUST BE AT LEAST 150+ YEARS OLD. ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL TREES I HAVE SEEN IN TEXAS.

THIS TREE WAS IN THE FRONT YARD AND IS RECORDED TO BE AT LEAST 110 YEARS.

THE ROCK FENCE WAS BUILT AROUND IT TO GIVE IT SOME PROTECTION.

THIS RANCH HAS SUCH BEAUTY ALL AROUND IT . YOU CAN SEE THE CARE THAT GOD HAS PUT INTO IT FOR YEARS AND YEARS.

THERE WERE FRUIT TREES IN THE YARD AS WELL AND ALL HAD FRUIT ON THEM.

THIS IS A VIEW FROM MY FRIEND'S FRONT YARD. IT'S JUST A SMALL PORTION OF THE RANCH. I HOPE I CAN RETURN TO SEE HIM SOON AND SEE OTHER PARTS OF THE RANCH. I AM SO PLEASED FOR MY FRIEND AND HIS CONTINUED PRAYER FOR GOD TO PUT HIM BACK IN A POSITION HE ONCE HAD ON OTHER RANCHES. IT HAS COME FULL CIRCLE FOR HIM AND HE NEVER GAVE UP HOPING THAT GOD HAD A PLAN FOR HIM TO BE BACK CARING FOR THE COWS AND THEIR BABIES AND BEING PART OF THE BEAUTY THAT GOD MADE.

HE IS NOW IN THE MIDDLE OF IT AND GOING STRONG. I PRAY THAT GOD WILL CONTINUE TO BLESS HIM AND HIS FAMILY AS HE SERVES GOD IN THIS JOB AND CONTINUES TO LIFT UP THE SON JESUS CHRIST AND GLORIFIES HIM THROUGH HIS WORK AS HE HAS OPPORTUNITY TO DO SO.

THANK YOU LORD FOR ANSWERED PRAYER.

I HOPE EVERYBODY HAS ANSWERED PRAYER AND BELIEVES IN THE ONE WHO ANSWERS THEM.

HAVE A GREAT DAY.
