Our Last Day at the Ranch

At Crystal Peaks there is a tree with many, many boots that have been made into birdhouses. I had to take a picture. Nothing at the ranch is over done but NOTHING is left undone or neglected. Everything has a purpose and is kept very nice and respectful. I appreciate the thoughtfulness of every element at the ranch.

Saturday was an optional day and many attendees had to head home right after Friday. There were less than half of us left. I am very glad that we did not elect to not attend. It was the conclusion that I needed. Kim took a few moments to speak with us again. Then many spoke and shared how they feel, or what is going on in their lives. What a time of encouragement.

Afterwards we were treated to a moving testimonial drama on horseback that was "written" by two young ladies (18 and 19 years old). Both of them have a hard time speaking to people but wanted to share their testimonies with others and this is the way they can do it. In this picture death and sin (on the black horse) attacked the other lady. In the end salvation comes in and on a palomino and saves the girl. It moved everyone so much.

For the first time in the history of the clinics, we asked to have a time to pray for Kim, Troy and the staff. They all gathered in the center of the riding arena and we prayed for them. We ended the time by all saying the Lord's Prayer. How awesome to end it in unison.

Before we left, I had to make one last trip through the pasture of horses. This is my dear friend who came with me and is sharing this vision with me. She really liked this one horse but he was apprehensive for whatever reason. He would not come near me, but he went to her. Somehow he knew which one of us to go to.

We left the ranch and headed back home. We were blessed with safe travel all the way home and we made it home in good time.
