Friday HD day Heavenly Devine

Ever notice how sometimes what a person contibutes doesn't get noticed until they

are no longer around to do it. I read a story about a husband who came home from work one day to find his house a complete disaster. The baby was crying, all the dishes were piled up in the sink, and dirty laundry was spread all over the floor. The TV was blaring, beds weren't made,carpets weren't vacumed and dinner was nowhere in sight,he had never seen anything like it before. When he found his wife he demanded to know what was up, his wife said, " you know how you always ask what I've been doing all day? Well today I didn't do it." Often, we as men and husbands can easily start to think we are doing it all and others just aren't pulling thier share of the load. We work all day and when we get home, tired often we say thing we shouldn't Flowers a big hug and a kiss work wonders. In the past 35 years I've said my share of stupid things to Diane but she has always forgiven me, and as I look at her sound asleep right now I can't help but thank God for my friend. We been through a lot together and we are stronger for it. The blessings and fruit are all of our children and the grand prize our beautiful grand kids, what more could anyone ask for? We have had some super family times. Nothing better than talking about hunting, trucks and motorcycles and great food. Miracle has to be that we now have the lodge closed in and heat on out at the ranch project. God is so good, give Him a chance. Hebrew 11: 1 big time hope in this verse check it out.

We have a men's evening once a week at our church and we talked about having a family cause to stand for, and in our home with 350 children being aborted daily what better cause than this to stand and be counted. Some day I'm pretty sure God won't be standing waiting for us to arrive so he can say well done good and faith full one your bank account was overflowing with cash. But I know for a fact He will be waiting with outstretched arms and the words well done for the lives we have changed and the lives we have saved. We know many people today that have children that were destined for the abortion clinic but today are living testimonies of God's faithful, that are willing to stand and be counted. When our christian community has the annual Pro Life walk Diane and I never stand alone as our children who stand with us always know we have a cause that is worth putting aside pathetic differences and unite to bring awareness to our community. What are we known for in our communities when people meet us on the street?

Thank you once again for taking the time to view our blog.The Battle River Ranch Camp is a non profit organization that is focused on developing trades, life skills and training opportunities for men and women that are searching and find it difficult to get the opportunities needed to develop a productive life skill. Many men and women today have no idea what they could be good at or how to find out their possible skill area or level. We are a faith based training center.

Harold and Diane Stephan left a life filled with addictions and bad choices. Their journey has taken them through different twelve step programs and life recovery through a relationship and healing process with Jesus Christ. If it were not for caring people in their lives that never gave up on them or thought they were a hopeless cause they too would still be lost.

We would love to hear from you and if you feel this is a program and facility that would help you or someone that you know, or you would like to be more involved with a ministry like this or support it financially we would love to talk to you and would very much appreciate your help in what ever way you can.

This is a ministry for those that have a heart and desire to make a difference in the lives of others with the skills and gifts they have been blessed with and have a desire to pass on what they know to the next generation.

You are always welcome to visit and we look forward to your input. This ministry is prayer based, and we pray daily for the needs of others, if you have a need for prayer and not sure where to start give us a call and we will confidentially support and help you in this area. You may not know a lot about God but God knows everything about you and He loves you more than anyone can or ever will.

Psalm 23 (King James Version)

Psalm 23

¹The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

²He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

³He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

⁴Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

⁵Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

⁶Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
