When Jeff and i first got married he had a company called Texas Cowboy Gear. He made riggin bags, carry on luggage out of rugs, leather tack, tooled leather, cleaned and repaired saddles and anything else he could think of. He also held down a full time job in downtown Houston. He had also been going out sharing Jesus at team ropings and rodeos.
We sure didn't have much money when we first got married. I literally shook the couch out for bread money at times.
We had been going to some youth rodeos with my daughter Amber. She was goat tying and barrel racing. We had gotten to know some of the rough stock riders. Jeff kept on wanting to give the kids equipment and bags. (Remember I've been shacking out the couch, LOL) One day he said I only have one more riggin bag and I'd like to give it away. I was not happy..... I went stomping off to the bathroom complaining to the Lord that Jeff was gonna give away the ranch. Ever so sweetly I felt like I could hear the Lord say to me....You can't outgive ME!!
Well I learned a lesson that day and have tried to remember it to this day. You just can't out give God!! Luke 6:38 says "Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”

He has never let me down. As long as I am giving...not just money, but time and love as well, he always takes care of me. My family has always had wh
