I wanted to share another excerpt from Hitchin' Post, this one actually being one of my favorite. The main theme of this book, and one that I try to instill in my children daily, is that though life brings you so many ups and downs, you must always look for the good and ALWAYS be thankful. Hitch spends much time in thought about this very subject after seeing his beloved ranch go through a drought, but he continues to find more to be thankful for.
"Hitch's favorite place
so calm and serene
with a little creek flowing near,
is the small country church,
where by the window he'll perch
each Sunday morning so he can hear.
He can see it from the air,
that little white church,
and oh, what an amazing view!
The horses are running,
the windmills are turning,
and Hitch thinks, God must be a cowboy too!"
Thank you all for your interest in Hitchin' Post. I look forward to sharing more!
