God Bless Cowboys



The Cowboy's Prayer by Clem McSpadden


Our gracious and heavenly Father, we pause in the midst of this festive occasion, mindful of the many blessings you have bestowed upon us.


As cowboys, Lord, we don't ask for any special favors. We ask only that you will let us compete in this arena as in the arena of life.


We don't ask that we never break a barrier, draw around a chute-fighting horse, or draw a steer that just won't lay. We don't even ask for all daylight runs.


We only ask that you help us to compete in life as honest as the horses we ride and in a manner as clean and pure as the wind that blows across this great land of ours.


Help us, Lord, to live our lives in such a manner that when we make that last inevitable ride to the country up there, where the grass grows lush, green and stirrup high, and the water runs cool, clear and deep, that you, as our last Judge, will tell us that our entry fees are paid.


Amen.


This week and weekend is our local fair and rodeo. MDH is involved in putting on the fair, and I am involved in putting on the rodeo. Today is the first day of a two day rodeo. It’s an active time of year for our little community. I am so happy to see it still thriving. There is a lot of fun to be had in a small little town during this weekend each year. So, may the horses buck, the cowboys rope fast, and everyone have a good time! Cheers!


Note: The bulldogger is MDH. #studmuffin
