So true
Be a good steward of your Blessings

I sat in my chair last night, in the glow of the Christmas lights of my 1920 farmhouse.
I had decided I would watch “The End.”
The end of a TV series that I have watched, sporadically over the last several years.

I watched it the first time, out of curiosity. I heard sarcastic and angry and emotional commentary from people I know and trust. On Monday mornings, my farm and ranch friends would do a run down about the evening’s episode.
Never was the commentary about the made for TV drama, alone. Always wrapped inside, were the observations about the silly and inaccurate portrayals of our lives. But also, the snippets of the very accurate and real parts of our lives, lived out on screen by men and women who will never know our faces and names and stories. But in this act, I saw many (including me on occasion) express a wee bit of gratitude for the chance to be heard. And isn’t that what we all want in life, at one point or another?
To be heard, seen, and understood.

There are no spoilers here. Nothing to give away, outside of all the previews that led up to the finale last night.

For me, I found myself shedding tears and a bit emotionally drained.
Because the tiny threads that coursed throughout last evening that resonated with my life here, exposed the very raw truth that all that was given, or purchased, or taken from others, that makes up our lifeblood…well, in all reality it can and will end one day.
Perhaps by choice. Perhaps not.
But that is the very real risk we signed up for, when each of us chose to live our lives as stewards of the land.
And for as hard as it may be to face that reality, there is also something intrinsically beautiful about the idea that none of this really belongs to us, anyway.
It’s just ours to take care of, for a short while.
In finality, if all I ever manage, is to leave it better than I found it, I know I will not only honor my heritage, but honor He who owns it all.
And there is no greater life’s work than that.
Hold fast, friends. While the appeal to sell for the developments that offer you money and security and prosperity are legitimate and powerful, they will NOT fulfill your soul.
We cannot afford to give more land away, to take it away from the way it was made. Farm it, with intentional care and purpose to raise food. Ranch it, to graze the prairie and raise the protein upon it. Curate it to clean the air, protect our water, and leave the soils healthy.
This IS its purpose.
Because. There is no more land to be made.

So sad to see them go. Rescue business is tough on the heart for sure!

After over a decade of serving pets and families at our Benbrook Waggin’ Tails Adoption Center, we’ve made the difficult decision to close this location on November 30, 2024. 💙 This decision wasn’t easy, but rising costs and declining adoptions have led us to focus our lifesaving efforts at our Fort Worth shelter on Lancaster Avenue and partner locations like PetSmart and Petco.

Since 2011, Benbrook Waggin’ Tails has been a beacon of hope, helping over 14,400 pets find their forever homes. 🐾 We are deeply grateful to our amazing staff, volunteers, and the community who made this work possible. Rest assured, every animal currently at Benbrook will be lovingly transitioned to our other locations or placed into caring homes.

As we close this chapter, we remain steadfast in our mission to save, shelter, protect, and advocate for animals across North Texas. Thank you for being part of this journey—we look forward to continuing this important work together.
