A Traveling Cowboy's Prayer

For the long time rodeo friend of mine.

51
A Traveling Cowboy's Prayer
C. Fields

Lord forgive him for his rough and rowdy ways.

Lord he knows not what he's done today.


Forgive him for not finding Your love sooner and all he did.

Lord please shed that devil from his shoulder and love him rid.


Lord I ask You to forgive him for this life we've all come to live on the road.

We have learned we need You today and forever to pull these heavy loads.


We've all gone astray more times than we should.

I know there was a lot of times he's started to walk away but never could.


Lord forgive him for all the wicked women he's loved one night at a time.

I know they didn't have his heart but I promise you he had mine.


I ask You to forgive those worn out boots for walking him down the wrong paths.

And Lord, he will always find his way home as You look down with Your wrath.


We love you today and for always Lord as You call us up to Your living arms one year.

And I know there is but one thing in this life we should all fear.


All men bleed the same and we are all created equal.

Some of us forget that sometimes Lord and make parts of this world a little evil.


But Lord we say this prayer and all others in Your heavenly and precious name.

And we give all the glory to You oh God and we worship in all Your fame.


Thank you for today and always Lord as we ask You to watch over the ones we love.

And forgiving us Lord, and for that I really can't thank You enough.


I appreciate You for taking his soul and mine alike and for our old hearts that you came in.

And Lord as always we say this prayer in Your precious name, Amen.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
