8 Pointer, A Blessing from Jesus

The JOY in a wife's heart cannot be explained when she gets that text from her husband shouting and praising the Lord over a buck he just shot.  Maybe it's growing up in a household with a dad and brother that love to hunt and just understanding this is important and something to be celebrated.  Maybe it's just being excited about something I know my husband thoroughly enjoys yet rarely gets to do.  Maybe it's all of the above.  Whatever the case, I love when Rance gets to go hunting and I always pray for him while he is hunting and that DADDY blesses him with something to shoot; however, I know whether Rance shoots a buck, a doe, a turkey, a squirrel, or nothing at all - He just loves being in the outdoors and enjoying that sweet time with the Lord.  

Last Saturday, Rance and his dad went hunting together and so the Lord bonded them in an extra special way when Rance was so blessed to shoot an 8 pointer!  I was shouting and screaming at home - just as excited as they were and forwarding Rance's texts to a couple of my friends who at least act excited whether they are or not (or even really understand what to be excited for) haha!  

Check out that studly hunter and studly deer :)

 

After skinning the deer in the woods, Rance hiked out over 2 miles with 80 pounds of meat in his backpack.  Thank you Jesus for a blessing of a day for Rance and his dad and for lavishing extra grace upon Rance by allowing him to shoot a buck!
