"Prosperity In Spite Of Tragedy"

This is one of the many pumping oil wells that can be see while traveling through Ochiltree county. No cattle can be seen in this picture, but big herds are grazing the rich, green grass on thousands of acres. 8-6-2018 Perryton, TX

 

This pumping oil head is one of the pictures I took coming home yesterday. Most of these oil pumps are surrounded by hundreds of fat cattle feeding on the green grass. It is a sure sign of prosperity in our county. The wheat harvest is over for this year, but beautiful fields of irrigated maize is a sight to behold. We have to be thankful for this blessing, but we have had a terrible fire two years ago that destroyed thousand of acres of grassland and many head of cattle. Several homes, and a few human lives were destroyed also. It was due to nothing but an act of nature, We never know when, or what kind of another disaster might happen again. Life has no guarantee for any of us. People should never take life for granted. They should also thank God every day for health, and the essentials for living. The more we thank Him the more He blesses. Never a day goes by that I don't ask God for peace to deal with daily problems. The peace always comes, and I can rest assured that things will work out. God tells us in His Word to “TRUST ME, TRUST ME.” Why is it so hard to do sometimes? I want to always be that person to remind others of this plea from God. 

I will never say that life is easy for anyone. We weren't created that way. Only the Creator himself knows why we are born to suffer. He did give us His Word to help us endure the hard times of our life, and He promised that after this earthly life is over there will be no more suffering. His word plainly says that to die is to gain. I will TRUST him with that promise. “Thank you Jesus for allowing me to claim that promise.” And thank you Lord for letting me enjoy myself while enduring these trying times. I vow to never be one of those who grieves themselves to death, God forbid. I do grieve from time to time, but never to the point of no return. I have spoken before about feeling like a stranger to myself sometimes, and that happens more frequently all the time. I believe it's because we are a strange being, and God is letting us understand a little better just how strange we are. We are no stranger to Him because He created us. Someday we will know why we lived on this earth, and if it was a pleasing life for God. I hope I can say I did my best. With God's help I will not fail, and with God's help I will not fail others. Love is the key to the Kingdom of God. By faith I believe I carry that key with me at all times. I may not always agree with you, but I love you, and hope I don't have to hurt you to hold onto my heavenly key.

God Bless

"Someone Once Lived Here"

Ochiltree county Texas Landmark. A very old house that in it's time was considered a mansion. 8-5-2018 Perryton, TX

 

I am back home now and getting rested up. I had a fun week-end and some very delicious food to go with it. I stopped on my way back home and took some pictures of some of the landscaping in our county. There is lots of ranch land with native grass and cattle by the hundreds of heads, Many pumping oil wells can be seen on nearly every section of land. This old house is such an interesting landmark which in it's time was considered a mansion. Just the top of it can be seen from the road. It sits below a high cliff. A tall wire fence can be see which is positioned all around the section of land the house sits on. No one can gain entrance to the place unless they break down the fence. I have painted this old house, and I am proud of the image I brushed on canvas. A pumping oil well is located near the gate entrance. Ochiltree county Texas is a rich part of the North West part of the Texas panhandle. Farmland, ranch land, and oil and gas is a great blessing to the people who live here. Overall it is a quite, peaceful, and ideal place to live and educate your children. Most of the people living here have to go out of town to be entertained by drama, or shows of collectible interest or competition. We are proud of the several large chain motels, and head offices of engineered oil companies.

I am not a native of Perryton, but I have lived here for over sixty years. I have watched this town grow from a few humble businesses, and houses to a great number of beautiful homes, and modern facilities that offer the greatest kinds of service. The schools are rated highly on the academic grade level. This special place of opportunity is more about advancing brain power than entertaining the folly. Although everyone knows creative humor is priceless in it's own intent or purpose. Let us never leave out the laughter or mind hustling from talented humorist. They may not make it to heaven, but I love then anyway, When we are lacking in humor we are lacking in a longer life. A smile looks so much prettier than a frown.

I have now to go tend to my flowers, They need water, and a lot of it. I was gone for two days, and they had no water. Darkness is creeping up on me, and I dare not take care of those lovely flowers. Tomorrow may be too late for some to survive. So with all my heart I will keep you lifted up in prayer, and hope to keep you reading my crazy, but serious blogs. I know how many click onto my blog each day. I do not know who you are unless you let me know, but I do see how many checked in. God bless you all.

God Bless

"Hoping For A Rosy Week End"

     How precious are the roses. Wish I could take them with me. 8-4-2018 Perryton, TX

 

I will have to write a very short blog today. I got an unexpected invite to go out of town for the week-end, and I couldn't resist. I'm trying to get ready now, but wanted to explain why my blog was so non-important. Ha ha. Just a rose, and a promise to write a more  next time.

God Bless
