Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? .. No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

“But ask the animals, and they will teach you, or the birds in the sky, and they will tell you; or speak to the earth, and it will teach you, or let the fish in the sea inform you. Which of all these does not know that the hand of the Lord has done this? In his hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind." Job 12:7-10

Whenever I see this scene, I am reminded of a section from the classic, "Pilgrim's Progress" by John Bunyan.
....
"These mountains are Emmanuel’s land, and they are within sight of His city; and the sheep also are His, and He laid down his life for them."
….
The reflective light across the hills in the breaks just "hint" of the light of God. Another fun fact...Emanuel Reinhold, my grandpa, use to call this home..."Emanuel's Land"

The Homestead Act of 1862 provided them, as well as many other pioneers, with an opportunity to acquire land and establish family farms. To the land-hungry immigrants, the tough prairie sod seemed a golden opportunity and they conquered it by hard work. - President Harry S. Truman
