Giving Thanks
November on the ranch.
Autumn is a beautiful time of year. Some leaves are changing color. Some evergreens are bearing bright red berries. The air is crisp and cool. The wind reminds you to put on a sweater. Autumn is a great season to enjoy the outdoors. The months of September, October, and November mark a busy time of year as well as several holidays.
My father’s favorite holiday is Thanksgiving. Families come together to celebrate the many blessings that God has bestowed on us. It is a holiday without the pressures of Christmas. You don’t have to worry about buying and giving gifts. You only have to cook and eat delicious foods prepared with loving hands.
Thanksgiving is also time of reflection. A chance to reflect on your year and remember how blessed you are. In the spirit of this holiday, I want to share with you some of the things that we are thankful for at Cross Creek Cattle Company.
- We are thankful for our loving and close-knit family.
- We are blessed to have so many good friends.
- We love being able to enjoy healthy, delicious meat on our dinner table whether from our grass fed herd or from the wild boars and deer that wander in the woods.
- We are thankful to have good horses on which to ride and survey the beautiful scenery around the ranch regardless of the season.
- We have been blessed with fat cows and green grass.
- We are very thankful that health has been restored to the ranch manager after his accident.
- We are lucky to have a substantial store of hay ready to supply our animals with needed food no matter how hard the winter gets.
- We are thankful to have made it through the drought and to have finally received the much-needed rainfall.
- We are grateful that we can live our lifestyle in the 21st century.
- Last but not least, we are grateful for our customers who help support our family-owned and operated ranch.
From everyone at Cross Creek Cattle Company, we wish everyone a very “Happy Thanksgiving!” May God continue to bless each and every one of us.
