Though, he was working at the livery,
he would always be a cowboy at heart.
He longed to once again own a horse of
his own.
And his mind was totally blown
the day a young man named Bart
brought two horses into the livery.
“I'll be in town for a month or so
and I'll make you a deal.
I'm a gambler by trade, and only need
one horse, but I won this steed
he's a fine horse, but I don't feel
he's right for my need, you know?”
“I'll trade him to you in exchange
for taking care of the mare
while I'm in town. Our friend
quickly agreed, but then
to wth his boss, trying to be fair
to pay the gamblers bill himself, did
arrange.
Thus, he did acquire a spirited horse
who turned out to be the fastest animal
in town.
Oh, how he prized that stallion.
He named the animal “Scallion.”
He was happy to have found
a way to buy his own horse.
That night, when he knelt to pray
he Thanked God for blessing him.
He knew that this deal could only
have come from God, you see.
He did not know of the upcoming need
young Jim
would have, or in meeting it, the part
the horse would play.
Monday morning, the widow Blies
entered the livery stable.
With a tear in her eyes.
She handed the young man
her dead son's Bible.
“Last night, to sleep I could not go.
My son died a little over a year ago,
I don't have much to remember him by
but as a brand new Christian,
he'd want you to have your own Bible.
I think he'd want you to have the one
he carried with him everyday.”
The Cowboy did not know what to say.
He thanked her and for him she did pray.
After she left, he couldn't help but think
about how great a sacrifice this must be
for this woman whom he barely knew.
She reminded him of his own mother
You could see God's love in her very eyes.
The cowboy turned liveryman
found himself asking his friend,
the humble parson, to baprize him.
This, on the very Sunday that it became
official that he would be the new pastor
of this little white church.
So to the creek just outside town
they went and there they found
the perfect spot for his baptism.
The entire congregation was there
in joyful song, their voices filled the air.
They rejoiced in knowing
that the kingdom was growing.
It was truly a joyfu day.
Our two friends entered the water, smiling.
The parson said a few words, and then emersed
his new friend beneath the water. The crowd dispersed
oh so slowly, many remaining to speak to the two men.
