Joe Lee Williams Tribute

A Father, A Friend, A Cowboy Who made his dream a reality!

God talks to each of us if we allow HIM, molding us into the disciple that HE wants us to be. I followed that call early in life, working with young people at my church.

God gave me a special talent in working with kids through the love HE gave me in his great creation, the "horse".

Sometimes my family did not understand why I felt so strongly and was so compelled to this mission.  It wasn't just my dream; but a special calling from God to teach, train, and help kids to excel in what became their first love also.

As each of you continue to ride always remember God gives us valleys and mountaintops in our lives.  The valleys to test and make us strong, so that we might share with others HIS precious love.

The mountaintops to let us "walk, trot, canter, & lope" with our best friend-our horse- which allows others to see that radiant Sonshine in our lives.

As each of you grow and mature, remember, you can not always win that "blue ribbon"in life; but it is important that you can look in the mirror and know that you have done your best,  you have given your all -- this is what makes each of you a "winner".

Although I have gone away for a little while, I am with each of you each day in you thoughts and memories.  As you continue to ride and excel -- know that one day God will bring us all together again in that "heavenly arena!"
