Lesson of the Hereford Cows
"I like the story and the philosophy of storms expressed by a rugged old-time cowboy who said he had learned life's most important lesson from Hereford Cows. All his life he had worked cattle ranches where winter storms took a heavy toll among the herds. Freezing rains whipped across prairies. Howling, bitter winds piled snow into enormous drifts. Temperatures dropped quickly to below-zero degrees. Flying ice cut into the flesh. In this malestorm of nature's violence, most cattle would turn their backs to the icy blasts and slowly drift downwind, mile upon mile. Finally, intercepted by a boundary fence, they would pile up against the barrier and die by the scores. But Hereford Cows acted differently. They would head into the wind and stand shoulder-to-shoulder facing the storm's blast. "You most always found the Hereford's alive and well," said the cowboy. "I guess that is the greatest lesson I ever learned on prairies - just face life's storms." = Norman Vincent PealeHow can this story relate to usin our individual live? We should always stand up for what we believe, Stand up for whats right everyone has the right to their opinions. When we see somebody who feels alone or picked on go to them and offer a hand and help them up and be a friend and do what is righjt. We are never alone though there maybe times in our own lives we feel like we cant go on or succeed in this life well if we do feel that way we should realize on the Holy Bible and the Book Of Mormon because they have answers to all the questions that we may have, We should also rely on God and to do our own personal prayers to hime. How do we pray to him? Well here is how. 1. Start with Dear Heavenly Father, 2. Tell him what your greatful for, 3. Ask him for his guidence or protection or advice that he can give you, 4. and when you feel like your done always end it by saying (in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen). I promise you that Heavenly Father does listen and answers to our prayers and he always willing to help us BUT we must ask him for his help.

This is a great post, and it kind of reminds me of how Christ compares us to sheep so frequently throughout the scriptures. A cowboy is kind of like a shepard, too. It is so much better to face the storms of life instead of trying to run from them. They make us stronger, and it is so comforting to know we can always ask for help! :)
