“Perseverance is the hard work you do after you get tired of doing the hard work you already did.”~Newt Gingrich
The Wind of heaven...
“The wind of heaven is that which blows between a horse's ears.”
20:22
How is this one for 2022?
***
Proverbs 20:22 may be a go to verse for many of us.
"Do not say, “I’ll pay you back for this wrong!”
Wait for the Lord, and he will avenge you."
***
Often times we "take matters into our own hands". And often times those matters just go from bad to worse.
***
The "wrongs" that we may experience may be big..
The "wrongs" may be someone taking advantage of us.
The "wrongs" may have been going on for weeks, months or even years.
And then some of the "wrongs" may be just plain annoying.
***
So the next time you want to "get even"... or "demand or own rights"... or may be even enter into a state of denial... Remember, God has your back... He is also riding point...
***
So in 2022... Remember 20:22... Proverbs 20:22, that is.

Cultivate your own capabilities
Cultivate your own capabilities, your own style. Appreciate the members of your family for who they are, even though their outlook or style may be miles different from yours. Rabbits don't fly. Eagles don't swim. Ducks look funny trying to climb. Squirrels don't have feathers. Stop comparing. There's plenty of room in the forest.

Lamentations 3:22-24
Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail.
They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion;
therefore I will wait for him.”

What God Does....
Many live aimlessly asking, "What does God do?"
I live amazed proclaiming, “What God Does…”

B&W... Shades of Color from the Ranch
Really...Amazing and pretty. Some pics of Dakota Ice Art that Robin took this morning.
Thank you God for giving me the gift of sight to enjoy these beautiful formations.
YOU KNOW....
You know... I do a lot of thinking... And I do a lot of praying.
Sure keeps me from doing a lot of worrying.

Latch on and Grow
I like this picture that Robin captured. How many times I have walked through a doorway or under tree limbs only to be greeted by a nearly invisible cobweb... I start flailing in the air and wiping the sticky slimy matter from my face and clothes. However, this morning-glory that has been climbing our clothesline post found the opportunity of reaching out and growing in a most surprising fashion. Perhaps there is a lesson here. Rather than be entangled in the annoyances of life that come our way... and be certain that they will, look for opportunity to latch on and grow and share beauty in ways that only God is able to provide.

I Always Said...
I always said..."A good horse, a good dog and a good woman sure helps make a good ranch." (Not necessarily in that order, because I started saying that before I was married to Robin:)

Note…. I know Danny has a good horse or two… a couple of good dogs…. and he is patient on the rest of the equation.

A Beautiful Sunday on the Ranch
"Here's looking at you, kid"
A beautiful Sunday on the Ranch.
Psalm 62:5-6
Yes, my soul, find rest in God;
my hope comes from him.
Truly he is my rock and my salvation;
he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.
Psalm 62:5-6
Breaking the Bonds...
I cannot help but smile as I observe the new leaves breaking the bonds of winter's imprisonment. Larry B. Reinhold
I have to admit... this is nearly a dream. A beautiful palomino quarter horse in the branding pen with a bunch of Hereford calves that will soon be wearing the Lonetree brand that has been part of family for generations.

Dear God,
From my heart, I lift to You a prayer of gratitude...
