Day 4 - Saddle Ridge Ranch Review

Howdy partners at the fourth day at Saddle Ridge Ranch! Praises to God for today we were greeted with a bright and sunny morning as the Cowpokes arrived as active as always to learn more new things about Him.

The march-in to Worship Rally Valley was rousing. The engaging and daily routine of singing as well as doing the actions to the VBS songs made the Cowpokes and their respective Ranch Hands extra pumped up in their Bunkhouses!
Bible Study this morning was taken from Mark 6:30-46 and John 6:1-13. These verses from the Bible tell the story when Jesus fed five thousand of his followers with only five loaves of bread and two little fishes. Simply extraordinary!

Cowpokes experienced something unusual at the ranch today. As they moved from one rotation site to another, many Prairie Piles (horse droppings) were scattered about everywhere! They had to watch where they were going lest they step into any of the Prairie Piles! Nevertheless, they had fun and did well avoiding the droppings as they moved about the ranch.

At Firefly Cavern, Cowpokes heard about how the missionaries at Mali spread the Gospel. The missionaries there shared Bible stories in their language. This is one of the ways to portray God’s love to our friends and family.

During snack time, the team at Big Sky Grill served freshly made burgers accompanied with ice cream and Milo.
Soon after at Mustang Mountain, Cowpokes enjoyed themselves playing “Ropers and Wranglers”. It’s a challenging game of catching eggs.

A great session at Worship Rally Valley; as it was highlighted to the Cowpokes to choose to live like Jesus’, following his examples through the song, “Like Jesus”.

While making an “Attitude Dangler”, Cowpokes at the Blazing Star Stables were told that it was to remind them to set their attitudes right everyday by following examples of Jesus Christ.

Though we might not be able to do great things like Jesus, it is the little things that matter and can do wonders! We can help others by praying and showing love to them as it is written in John 13:34 – Jesus said, “Love one another as I have loved you. By showing our love and compassion to others, we become more like Jesus.
Also, Family Carnival and Sunday School Open Day this coming weekend!

Till tomorrow as we roundup for day 5, see you and God bless!
