As I was going through one of the most frightening time in my life – a battle with breast cancer – I found spiritual witness was sometimes found in the strangest places. Here is my story.

When we first purchased our property neither one of us had ever lived or worked on a ranch and we had no idea where to start. Thankfully one of our first local acquaintances was a veteran cattleman who purchased our first calves for us at a livestock auction.
Not only were we holding down full-time jobs in Dallas without flexibility to attend these auctions ourselves but we’d never been to an auction before and were very intimidated by the entire process. This wonderful gentleman purchased those calves and brought them to his corrals to work them for us, then delivered them to our own fledgling ranch. He is a valued friend and mentor even today.
We’ve got two of our grandbabies visiting today. They have absolutely adored our bottle babies since we first brought them to the ranch in March as day-old calves. I so enjoy watching their excited little faces as they experience this part of farm life. Being able to share your world with those you love is one of the greatest pleasures of this life we’ve chosen. Happy Saturday everyone!
