Heavenly Father, I pause, mindful of the many blessing You have bestowed upon me, I ask that You will guide me in my
life. Help me, Lord, to live my life in such a manner that when I make that last ride to the country up there, where the grass
grows lush and the water runs cool, that You’ll take me by the hand and say,
“Welcome home COWBOY.”
