(film reel humming) (gentle music) (gentle music) (group laughing) - No ranch for sale no more! Can you believe we actually did it? - I know! - Thank you girls for believing in me. Ah, the air is so fresh out here, it's so clean. There's so much of it. - That's for sure. - We're gonna be happy here. - I know we will. - Oh, hey! Let's take a picture. - All right. - Okay. - Okay. - Get the sign. - Get the sign. - Yeah. - All right. - Get the house, okay. One, two, three. Okay, let's do a goofy one. - All right. - Okay, okay. - Ready, timer. - [Grace] That's one of my fondest memories. One of the happiest days of my life. I couldn't believe it when my parents sat me down and told me that they bought this ranch and that we're moving to the countryside, but I quickly fell in love with it here and I can't see myself living anywhere else. (door knocking) But then my dad deployed and was killed in battle fighting for our country. - I'm Chaplain Gonzales. We are here to regretfully inform you that your. - That day, our whole world turned upside down. (somber music) And everything quickly went downhill after that. Pastor Williams always preached hope and faith. My mom went to his church every Sunday. She still had her hope. But when my dad died, I lost my faith. Morning girl, did you miss me? (laughs) I'd be so lost without you. I think that means you'd be lost without me too. - You really like taking care of her, don't you? - I love it, I love her. - Well, one day this will all be yours to take care of. That's one of the reasons we bought it was so we could pass it on to you. - I wish he was still here to teach me what to do. - I know, me too. But just remember, he believed in you. And I do too. When the day comes, you'll know exactly how to take care of it. I just know it. I remember when your dad taught you how to ride her. - I remember too. I was so afraid that first time I thought I was gonna hurt her. - You weren't going to. - Well, I know that now. She was the last thing Dad ever gave me. - Go on, I know you want to. I'll see you inside for lunch. - Okay, good. (gentle music) - [Mike] You can open your eyes now. - Do you like her? - She's breathtaking! (laughing) - Well go on, go on. Hey, here try this. Put your hand like this. - What are we doing? - What we're doing is called a horseman's handshake. It is a very respectful way to treat an animal and it's also a very polite way to say good morning. Go ahead, try it. - Good morning. - See if she'll give you permission to pet her. - Hi there. - Wow, looks like somebody's got a new best friend. (gentle music) - Hey. - Hey Chris. - You don't ever hear your phone ring, do you? - No, I've been riding. - My sister's only a few years older than us and she's never off of that thing. I mean, she has to check it every minute. My dad's always yelling at her. - Yeah, I'd rather have my hands on her reins than on my phone. - So, I just thought I'd come visit you. Just because we're not in school doesn't mean we can't hang out. - Did you just come from practice? - Yeah, someone forgot to tell Coach Davis that we're on break. - I guess that's what happens when you decide to play football for the school. - I still need the improvement though, at least that's how I feel. - What, come on. No way, I've seen you play. I think you're really good. I bet you'll be the star running back in no time. Hey! - Hi. - You need help? - Sure. How's Chris? - He's fine, he's coming around again tomorrow. - Really? - What? - He's cute. - Mom! - I'm right, aren't I? - Stop! - Do you like him? - We are not talking about this. - Why not? - Seriously, sometimes it's more like we're roommates. - Well, so that you think. Actually, there is something I wanted to talk to you about. Pastor Williams is gonna come over for lunch today. - He's only gonna talk about church again. - You haven't been since your father passed. - I don't want to go anymore. - Why not? - Mom, please don't pressure me. - All right. But you can't avoid it forever. (gentle music) It looks beautiful, honey. - Yes, I love all the colors, and how they shine in light. - Right. - So what do you think, honey? - I think it's perfect. It's just perfect, that looks great, Mike. - You think God would approve? - Well, Mike, God doesn't micromanage. He leaves that up to me. (laughs) No, it looks great. Look, I just wanna thank you for everything you've done. - Oh. - No really, you're the one that convinced me to move out here, you found this historical building and you restored it with your own two hands. Man, that's big time. Now, I know we've been friends for a long time, Mike, but you went above and beyond, man. - You would have done exactly the same thing for me. - You know I would. - Yeah. - You know I would. - Come here you. - Well now we just need a congregation. - [Mike] You know what they say, if you build it they will come. - [Pastor] Let's hope, let's hope. - And if you paint it, they will most assuredly come. - Absolutely. - Now you see. Way up there where it comes together. - [Pastor] For the paint? - No no no, bright lights, I can't get up there. - Why are you avoiding Pastor Williams? - Because every time I see him I can only picture Dad's funeral. - Oh Grace. - I just don't believe any more, Mom. - Don't say that. - What's the point in prayer if I don't believe in the words? (somber music) - You know, your dad is still with us. He's always going to be here. - I still feel like I'm waiting for him to walk through my door. Like any second it's gonna happen. But it just never does. - I know. And that's why we have to stay strong for each other, so that we can get through this together. - Rebecca, how you doing? How's Grace? - She's, she's okay. - Yeah? - Considering everything. - You know I think about you guys a lot. Haven't seen her since the funeral. I feel like after everything your family has done for me, I owe you guys. I mean, the fact is, without his hard work, this town wouldn't even have a church. - I wouldn't have this house. But the truth is, we're about to lose it. - What? - Well, you know how I sold all the cattle off? - [Pastor] Yeah. - Mike had become a really good rancher. I tried my hardest to do all of that stuff and I just couldn't keep up with that and with taking care of my daughter all on my own. - You shouldn't have to. That's too much for any one person. - And Grace doesn't even know. (gentle music) So how was my husband when you two served together? - Who, Mike? It was funny. - Marginally. - Yeah, Mike was great. Well, wait a minute. I don't wanna blow his big old head up any bigger than it already is. No Mike, Mike was awesome. Mike was awesome, he was a great sergeant. Guys loved him. They'd run through a wall for him, take a bullet for the guy. I think we all would. - That is not how you used to talk about me when I was giving you orders, my friend. No, no, not at all. You weren't talking about me like that when I was telling you to do 20 more pushups. - And I was there. It almost made me quit. - Is that what made you ditch a rifle for a Bible? - No, I was long gone when I started to really work on my faith. I had left the Army. Then I came back. Just not as a soldier this time, but as a pastor. - And he served his country proud, in both ways. - Thanks, sweetie. - You always had a knack. My men revered you, they would open up to you, tell you their dreams, their hopes, they'd confess everything to you. Not to me, just you, naturally. - Nah, they was just sacred of the Lord, man. It was like confession a lot of times. That being said, anything you wanna confess, Mike? Now's a good a time as any. - Well, now that you mention it, I've been called and asked to go back and do another tour of duty. - Really? - Really. - You okay with that? - Well, I can't tell him not to go, but... - You're afraid, it's okay. I mean, if I were in your position I'd be afraid too. - You know that I don't wanna leave you and Grace for 10 minutes, let alone months at a time, but I just don't, I don't see any way I could say no. I don't like my men, they need me. My country needs me. (gentle music) - Hey Grace. (Grace laughing) That wasn't funny. - You're right, you're right, you're right, it wasn't funny. It was hysterical. Best part was you scream like a little girl. - Did not! - You totally did. - How's Faith doing? - She's great. - Well, I'm sure that's just because she gets to spend all of her time with you. - I still have some work that I need to do, but do you wanna help me? - I'd love to. - Great, I think you'll really enjoy it. - How'd I let you to convince me to do this again? - Well usually I'd get my mom to help me, but you said you wanted to spend more time with me, so. - Yeah, this isn't exactly what I had in mind. (gentle music) So why'd you name her Faith? - I didn't, my Dad named her. - I like it. - Yeah, it's okay I guess. - Why just okay? - 'Cause to be honest, I just don't know if I have it anymore. - What, faith? Hey, don't say that, okay. You're gonna get through these tough times. - [Ben] Mrs. Evans, this is Ben Clark from the bank again. We urgently need to talk. As you are aware from your foreclosure notice. (gentle music) - Rebecca, how you doing? - [Rebecca] Hi, am I bothering you? - Oh no, it's no bother at all. Sandra's off running errands and I'm just up here working on a sermon. - I sure could use a sneak peak right now. - Oh no, you know I can't do that. That'd just ruin the surprise. You know what, come on up here. Let's have a chat. Tell me what's wrong. - The bank's about to foreclose on us. - Okay but you can't give up. - I don't know if I have the strength. - You're being tested right now. But it's gonna make you stronger. You're gonna get through, trust me when I tell you this, you're gonna come out stronger. You're gonna get through it. But you gotta believe that. Have you prayed about it? - Yes, yes I've prayed, but I just, I feel like god's not even... - Rebecca, he's listening to you. I know you don't think he is, but he's listening to you. The thing is, are you listening to him? 'Cause he hopes you are so you'll be able to respond when he answers. Remember the two virtues that I preach on a lot. Hope and faith. See when people get in tough times, like you are right now, that seems impossible and you wanna quit, when it's not easy, when it's rough, that's when you need it the most. Not the time to quit. It's time to fight. Through hope and faith you can do that and you're gonna do it. You need to fight for your hope, I believe you wanna fight for your hope and not just for yourself, but for Grace. Y'all both gotta fight. 'Cause let me tell you right now, Rebecca, if you're not willing to fight, no one else will. (inspiring music) - I can see why your parents wanted to move here. - I know, I love it here. What about your place? - Um, I grew up on my farm, it's all I've ever known really. - [Grace] Do you wanna be a farmer? - Yeah. Yeah, I guess I do. Once my dad retires it'll all be mine. - What about football? - I don't know, everyone's always telling me how good I am at it, but I mean, I guess the farm has to come first. - Maybe you can do both. - Yeah, I'd like that. - My mom wants me to run this place one day. And I don't mind the hard work, but I don't know if I can do it alone. The only thing I'm afraid of is letting my dad down. - I think you'll do just fine. - Will you help me? - Do you want me to? - What do you think? - Hi. How are your parents? - [Chris] They're good. - Grace keeping you busy, putting you to work? - Yeah, she is but I'm having fun. - That's good, are you hungry? - A little. - Okay, well I just made an apple pie if you wanna go in and grab a slice. - Awesome. - All right, we'll see you inside, okay? - Thank you. - You're welcome. - Hey sweetie. - Hi. - Can I talk to you for a second? - Yeah, is it about that sign I saw? - Yeah. So we're gonna have an estate sale on Saturday. - Okay. - So anything that you don't need, I'd like for you to go ahead and box it up today and I'll be doing the same thing. - I don't get it to, why is it so urgent? - We're broke, Grace. - What? - The ranch is in a lot of debt and if we don't come up with some money soon. - Are you serious? - Well, we haven't had any income coming in and we've still had to make all the mortgage payments, pay all the expenses, cover the cost of the cattle and... - But we already sold off all the cattle. - Yeah, but I had to sell them under market value. It stopped the bleeding for a bit, but. You like it here, don't you? Do you remember what it was like before we came here? - Yeah. - Yeah, a two bedroom apartment in the city. Your dad and I working all the time. Didn't leave much time for us as a family. - I remember, Mom. - Things got a lot better for us when we got here. - I know. - I love it here, Grace. - I do too. - That's why I need your help, so that we don't lose it, okay. - Okay. Hey. You don't need to go home any time soon, do you? - No, why? - I need your help. - Okay, I'm all yours. - Great, follow me. - Okay, coming. (inspirational music) You sure have a lot of books. - Yeah, I love to read. What about you? - If it's a good enough book someone's gonna make a movie about it, so why bother to read it? - 'Cause it's fun to. - I don't know. So you really have to get rid of everything? - Yeah, I guess most of this stuff is from when I was a kid anyway. What about you, I'm sure your room is full of stuff you don't need anymore. - Not really, actually. I mean, I grew up on a farm so my parent's ideas of gifts were stuff that the farm also needed. - Like what? - Tools, mostly. Although, one year I did get a tractor. - That's pretty cool. - Yeah, I thought it was the coolest gift ever too, until my dad said I couldn't ride it until I was 15. - Well, at least it's something you can use now and for years to come. Like you said, you're gonna stay on the farm, right? - Yeah, yeah I'm definitely a country kid. Wouldn't know what to do with myself in the city. - Did you know I'm from the city? - Yeah, I did. - Do you ever wanna go back there? - No, no I love it here way too much. - Good, I'm really glad you said that. - Yeah, I'm not going anywhere. Besides, I wouldn't be able to take Faith into the city. - You know, if Faith was my horse, I wouldn't leave her either. (upbeat music) - Hopefully a bunch of people see this and we'll take these, hit the neighborhoods. Y'all just come on in, everybody come on and grab one and I'll give everybody one of these, we'll get it done, all right. Let's just kind of just spread out all over and let's just floor the neighborhood. Some of you go that way, some of you come with me. And big smiles, big smiles, let's go, all right. Let's get it done. - All right. - How is it? - Um, can I talk to you? - What now? - Just come downstairs with me for a sec, okay. - What are you doing? - I wanted to see if there was anything you wanted to keep before... - Mom! - Look, you know we have to get rid of everything that we don't need. - But this is Dad's stuff. - And I realize that this isn't gonna be easy for you. - No, it's not, why should it be? - I'm only doing this because I have no other choice here. - Not Dad's stuff, please. - I'm sorry. But we have to. - [Grace] I can't believe this. - Did you know that when I first met your father he had nothing? I had just come back from college to see my mom and there he was, outside the train station. I had to wait for my ride to turn up and so I just sat there watching this guy. Just tell bad jokes and doing his best to raise money for a good cause. He was a little older than me, he had scruff on his face and his sweatshirt and ripped jeans. But he was adorable. But just in need of a woman's touch, you know? He smiled at me and I smiled back. And then we started talking it was just like we had known each other forever, even though we had literally just met. And that was the moment we knew. Your dad gave this to me on our first anniversary. - Together forever. - This is what's important to keep, okay. That way all you have to do is look down to remember how much we both loved each other and how much we love you. You know your dad would have wanted us to do whatever it takes to keep this ranch. - I know. - That's why we have to sell things now before we're forced to sell things that we don't wanna sell. - What do you mean? - It's the last thing that I would want to do. - No, no you don't mean Faith. - I hope it never has to come to that. - It'll never come to that! Do you hear me, never! - Hey, what's wrong? Is everything okay? - Just come with me, okay? - [Ben] This is Ben Clark again, I can't stress enough how urgent it is that we speak. As you are aware from your foreclosure notice, you don't have much time until the bank takes possession of your property. So please call me back. You have both my office and cell phone numbers. I feel like we say goodbye a million times. - Right. - She's having a really hard time with this. - Yeah, I know. She'll be okay, our big girl. I wanna make you both proud of me. - I know you will. - Hey, oh! Oh, you two, you two are something else. While I'm gone, I know it's not always going to be easy, but I know that you can handle it. All I want you to do is do your best, that's all anybody can ask. - Dad, I'm gonna miss you so much. - I already miss you two more than you can possibly imagine. But when you close your eyes, I'll be there. - I'm never gonna let you go. No one will ever take you from me. I don't know what I'd do without you. - So what's it like to ride her? - You've never ridden a horse before? When I ride her I feel free. I just feel so happy and alive. Thank you. - Mm-hmm. You two look great together. I mean, she's such a pretty horse and... - And? - And you're such a pretty girl. I mean, there's a reason I avoided even making eye contact with you the first few years of school. - What's that? - I don't know, I can't explain it. It's like I felt sick just looking at you. - Gee, thanks. - No, I don't mean it like that, it's just, you know, you were the prettiest girl in school. I was scared. I was afraid that if I tried to talk to you, you'd just walk away. I mean, if you did that I wouldn't be able to stay at school anymore. - Well it's good thing I spoke to you that day you finally approached me at the water fountain. - You remember that? - So you've really never ridden a horse? - Actually, I have not, no. Everyone says riding is so much fun, but. - Well, how about I teach you? - I don't know, it took me long enough to learn how to ride my bike. - Come on, trust me. Let me help you out with something too. - Squeezing is like a gas pedal, it means go fast. So the harder you squeeze, not with your here, but with your heels, the faster the horse will go. So a lot of times you'll be thinking, I wanna slow down, I wanna slow down, but you're telling the horse yah. So here watch, we just go, I know, right. So there's a lot to know. But it's all very easy, see. Very easy. So what you practice are figure eights, right. Here's a figure eight, now look how little I have to do. Not scary, right? You look like you're scared. Touch her again. You have to believe in your horse. You have to believe in yourself, and you have to trust me, all right? - Okay. See, just like riding a bike. If the bike had a mind of its own. - Come on. Come on. - Dad? - Come on, come on, come on, come on, come here. Look it's okay, listen to me. Listen to me. You trust me, right? - Yeah. - Okay, you trust me, you trust Faith, you trust yourself, you got this. You got this. - Okay. - Okay. All right, here we go, come on Faith, come on Faith. Let's go (tongue clicking). Come on. (uplifting music) - I'm doing it. - Look at you! You're a natural born cowgirl. - Yeah, okay. - I'm worried about you. Did you ask for help? You know, for guidance? Pastor Williams asked me about you. - He actually came by here the other day. - Did you talk to him? - No, I didn't wanna see him. - Why not? - Because the last time I saw him he was burying my father. - He's worried about you and your mom, you know. Do you wanna come to church with me on Sunday? - Not really. - Even if I want you to? - I know you do, but why? - Because I like spending time with you there. With everything going on in your life right now, I think it could be really good for you. (gentle music) - Here you go. Thank you. Hungry? Wait. - What? - Why don't we give thanks. - Really? - Sure. I mean, we used to do it all the time. - But we haven't since Dad passed. - I know, but I think that we should start again, especially now. - I really don't feel like it. - Come on, Grace. - I'm sorry Mom, but no. - You know that your dad named your horse Faith for a reason? It's because he always wanted you to have it. He never wanted you to quit believing in him or in God. - Oh, look at you. - Hi! - How you doing? Let me help you with that. - [Rebecca] Oh, it's all right. - No, it's not all right, let me help you. Helping people is kind of what I do, right? - I didn't realize how heavy it was. - You gonna topple over here by yourself, the wind's blowing. Yeah, it's kind of my job to help people, Rebecca. - Well, I don't think carrying heavy furniture was on your resume to be a pastor. - Well, I don't think you remember who I work for. I mean, God's my boss, he's watching me 24/7. Did I ever tell you why I became a pastor? - No, no, you actually never did. - I don't talk about it much. In fact, I've never even told Mike what I'm about to tell you. Growing up, my childhood was rough. I got into a lot of trouble. I can't tell you how many times I got kicked out of school. But eventually I turned my life around. You know, I found Christ and one thing just led to another, I found my self in church more. And I don't even think that was a mere accident because that's where I meet Sandra, my wife, and here I am. And that's what I wanna do with my life now. I wanna help other people turn their lives around. - A widowed mom whose house is about to be foreclosed, you sure know how to pick them. - God knows how to pick them. And he picked me. He picked me. God saved me. And that's what I believe. I believe he wants me to save other people. And that's what I wanna spend the rest of my life doing. So I'm telling you, not just as your pastor, but as your friend, let me help you. - You don't owe me anything. - Yes, I do. Rebecca listen, we don't have a church without you and Mike. Mike helped me build God a home. At least let me help you try and save yours. Well good morning everybody, thanks for coming! All right, beautiful day, I'm excited and I hope that you, well you know what, I know, I know you all are excited just as much as I am for the grand opening of our new church. (group cheering) Yeah. Now, while I've always believed that God has been here, always been here, let's just say that he's got another place, another home to call his own, right? Before I do the ceremonial ribbon cut, there is just one person we all have to thank. Besides the Lord, of course, don't wanna forget him. But this someone, he made this all possible and made my dream a reality. Big Mike, come on up. Now, he doesn't know this, but he's the one that's gonna make this ceremonial ribbon cut. Mike, you're gonna do it, come on man. Yeah. - Hey, thank you, thank you, I appreciate the applause, but really truly, you should be applauding yourself because while it's true I did help convince Pastor Williams to come here in the first place, I really wasn't sure whether or not this town even wanted a church. But we restored this beautiful building, it is a picturesque little church, beautiful. And guess what, we have you, you are here, yes, yeah. Now, it's true, this building, it's a great building. But without you, it would just be a great empty building. So truly I mean it, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. Thank you for being here, and thank you of course, to Pastor for being here. He's become a wonderful, integral part of our family and I know that he's going to become a wonderful, integral part of your families as well. So without further ado, shall we? (group cheering) - [Rebecca] This is beautiful. - How much for that? - Uh, 20 bucks, yeah. I think somebody might be coming back for it, but there's records in here too. Dollar a record, so yeah. - Do you wanna buy this one? - All right, I guess I can take off another 600, but that's as low as I can go. - [Man] I'll take it. - All right, I'll go get the paperwork. - [Man] Great, thanks. - Hey, what's up, what's wrong? - I don't think we're making enough. - It's still early, you just have to have some hope. I'm just saying you can't do it alone, you know. - So what, you want me to go to church and ask God for help, no. (somber music) (kids laughing) - So how'd we do? I know it looks bad, but look, don't give up. - Hey. - Hey. - How you doing? - Fine. Today was a disaster. The worst part is my mom's gonna wanna sell Faith next. - Seems like your mom's gonna wanna sell everything she can before losing Faith. - I'm not gonna let her. I lost my dad, I can't lose her too. - So what are you gonna do? - I don't know. But if I lose her I'll have nothing left. - Yeah, but I mean, what's worse, losing your horse or losing your home? - She's not just any horse. - No, I know that, but... - Faith is everything to me, she's my best friend. - Where are you gonna go, Grace? Where are you gonna live? - I can't believe you're saying this. So what, you just think I should get rid of her? - No, that's not what I'm saying. - Look, this isn't Faith's fault that things got this bad, why should she be punished? - She shouldn't. But if she's the only chance that the ranch has left than maybe your mom's right. Maybe you don't have a choice but to sell her. - Just go home, Chris. - What? - Go home. - I'm just trying to help. Grace, please. - Did you hear me? I said I want you to leave! I'm not gonna let them take you from me. If I lose the ranch then fine, but I'm not gonna lose you. - [Mike] I'm really very proud of you, you know that? - [Grace] Why? - You've been feeding her, exercising her, grooming her, taking great care of her. - Well, I enjoy it. Makes her so happy. Listen sweetheart, when I'm gone, I want you to know I'm counting on you, okay? Keep taking care of her, protect her, make sure she's safe. Keep her groomed, keep her fed, exercised. Whoa, hey hey hey, it's okay, it's all right, it's all right. Come on Faith, down, there you go. Got her? - Yeah, I got her. Thanks, Dad. Stay. Okay, good girl. (gentle music) - Hello? - [Ben] I've been trying to reach you urgently, Mrs. Evans. - Please, I need more time. - [Ben] We keep giving you more time, we filed extension after extension after you missed one mortgage payment after another. - I realize that, but... - [Ben] And I am sorry, Mrs. Evans, I really am, but as you are aware, your ranch is scheduled for foreclosure on Monday. There's nothing more that we can do. - What time do I have until exactly? - [Ben] Monday morning, nine a.m. I suggest you remove all your personal belongings by then when the ranch will officially become the bank's property. - What about me, what about my daughter? - [Ben] Anyone found on sight will be forcefully removed by the sheriff, but I trust it won't come to that. (somber music) (door banging) - Hi. Sorry, didn't mean to startle you. My name is Luke Stark. I own a cattle ranch just across the state line. - Nice to meet you, how can I help you? - Well, I was driving through town and I saw your sign for an estate sale. Although, from the looks of it, it seems that I got here a little too late. I was checking out some of your ranching equipment. But, unfortunately, you don't have anything I don't already have. I did notice, though, that white horse. Is she for sale? Yeah, well my daughters. Oh yeah, that's a good girl, there you go. - No, wait, what are you doing! No, get off of me! You can't take my horse! - I'm afraid I already bought her. - No sir, please, you can't take her away from me! - I'm sorry, I really am, but I already bought her. - Mom, Mom, you can't do this! - It's the last thing I want to do, but... - Is that even enough money to pay off the bank? - No, it's not, but this with the other money it can pay back some of it and maybe I can call the bank and negotiate. - Maybe, maybe! - Listen, your horse will be in good hands with me and my daughter. I promise you, we'll take great care of her, we'll treat her like family. - She already has a family! No. - Good luck. - No, no Mom, it's not too late, you don't have to do this. You can give him the money back. - No I can't, I have no choice. - Faith, Faith! Faith, Faith! No! (Grace sobbing) (somber music) - I feel like I just ripped her heart out. Shes' been through so much and... Instead of making it easier on her, I just made it a whole lot worse. It's better that we lose our home? I'm doing my best here. Without my husband. You know how hard this has been on me. And now we sold everything that we own, if you can hear me I need you now more than ever. I could use some miracle. - God, I know that it's been a while. It's just hard for me after my dad passed. When you first took my dad from me. And then Faith. And it looks like you're going to take my home from me now too. What did I do to deserve this? I'm sorry that sometimes I lost hope and even my faith. I'm not as strong as I wanna be, as I should be. I'm asking that you bless us and watch over us. I trust you. And I believe that you have a plan and that you know what's best. I know that you're protecting me and watching over me. And I know that my dad is too. (uplifting music) (door knocking) - Can I come in? - Sure. - Are we homeless yet, Mom? - That's not funny. I just wanted to let you know that I'm going out to church. - Can you wait a few minutes before you go? - Yeah. I'm really glad you decided to come with me today. - Me too. Hey Mom, I'm really sorry for the way I acted. I, I was scared. - I know, sweetie. - I realize now that everything's gonna work out. - How do you know that? - Hope and faith, remember? I'll be right back. Hey, Chris. - Hey. - [Grace] Can I talk to you for a sec? - Yeah. I'm surprised you came to church today. - I know, I know, but I needed to tell you that I'm sorry. You were just trying to help me and I pushed you away. Can you forgive me? - Of course. Although, I don't think I have a choice given that we're at church. - Maybe we can talk some more after the service? - Yeah, I'd like that. - Okay. - [Chris] Should we head in? - Yeah. - You know I've been talking a lot about hope and faith. But today I wanna add a third virtue to the list. And that's the virtue of charity. First Corinthians chapter 13, and now by hope, faith, and charity. And then Paul goes on to say that, of these three, charity is the greatest. And it got me to thinking, raise your hand if you've ever given somebody something before. Now, we all give. Money, clothing, any kind of aid. And this should be the way we all aspire to live. Each and every one of you sitting here today, you should feel a obligation to give charity. And you know why? Because giving charity is also giving love. Love, when we love, that same love increases hope and faith in those that receive it. There's a personal reason why I chose to add charity to my sermon today. Inspiration, and not just from God, but also from each and every one of you here today. The proud members of this community and members of this church, that I love so much. You guys inspire me. You saw a need from a family and you came together and you unified and you met that need. But this just wasn't any old family that you took care of. See, without this family, we wouldn't have a church. Without this family we would not be sitting where we are right now. Here's a family. You prayed for a miracle. Go on, open it. That's from everybody here. (crowd applauding) - How did you? - I opened up a charity. I wanted to see you save your home, we all did. - Thank you. Thank you, thank all of you, thank you. I never asked for any charity. - We know. - And I didn't want any handouts. - We know that too, Rebecca. - How could I take this, it's too much. - Rebecca, listen, everybody here, they all know what you and your family has done for both the church and the country that they love so much. They were pleased, pleased to open their hearts and their wallets to you and Grace. They love you, we all do. (crowd applauding) (gentle music) - I'm glad I was able to reach you, Mr. Clark. - [Ben] Of course, I realize your deadline is tomorrow morning. - I know, that's why I called. I wanna let you know that I have everything I need to pay what I owe. - [Ben] You have it all, really? - I sure do. - [Ben] Well, you certainly left it right down to the wire. - I did, but what's important is that I have it now. This ranch is gonna stay ours, not the bank's. My daughter and I aren't going anywhere. - I think we're really gonna like it here. - I think so too. - Perfect spot for us to plant our roots. I want this to be our home, and Grace's, forever. - It will be. - I can't believe what everyone at the church did for us. - I know, me neither. - And you're sure it's enough? - With this and the rest of the money, it is. I already talked to the bank. You okay? - I'm so happy that we didn't lose the house, it's just... What's he doing here? - Afternoon, Mrs. Evans, and Grace. - How's Faith doing? - Not so great, actually. - What do you mean, what happened? - Well, to tell you the truth, seems like she's homesick. - What? - I think she missed you a lot. But you know what, I think you should ask her yourself. Faith. (uplifting music) - Thank you again, so much. - My pleasure. - I don't understand, is she ours again? - I called Mr. Stark from church. - But before she could even say anything I already told her I wanted you to have your horse back. I couldn't sleep at all knowing I'd torn her away from you. Broke my heart. - I offered to buy her back, but he told me just to go ahead and tear up the check. That she'd be yours again. - Hey Faith, hey Faith. (horse whinnying) (Grace laughing) - Glad you got to keep the ranch. Would have been a travesty to lose this place. - We have enough money to repay the bank now. - Have you thought about what you're gonna do next? - We haven't had time to come up with a game plan yet, but the ranch isn't generating any revenue for us anymore. - Well, you should change that. - Why'd you want Faith to begin with? - Well, I have a little girl and I thought she'd love your horse. But don't worry, lots of other horses out there. You know how kids love horses. - Mom, mom, that's it! That's how we can get the ranch making money again. - What do you mean? - We can start a business. Horse trail rides, horse riding lessons. We have so many acres on our property that we can use. - I don't know. - Mom, we have to give ourselves a fighting chance to hold on to this place forever. - Well, it's a good idea, but where are we gonna come up with the money to buy more horses? - You could always bring on a partner. - Really? - Well, I'd least give it some serious thought. My daughter is much younger than you but she absolutely adores horses, as do I. And there aren't any other businesses in the area like it. Think you can come up with a good name? - [Grace] Hope Ranch has now become a reality. With Luke's help we went out and bought some beautiful horses. But while all of our new horses are beautiful, Faith is, of course, still my favorite. I watched your game yesterday. - [Chris] Really? Why didn't you tell me? - I thought if you knew I was watching you it would throw you off. - It probably would have, yeah. - But, that catch you made was pretty incredible. I was so proud of you. - I'm really proud of you too, you know? - For what? - For everything you've done here. And for not giving up. - Thank you. (gentle music) - Whoa. Ready? - Yeah. Mom and I have already signed up all the local schools for class field trips and adults of all ages are coming too for horseback riding lessons. It's going to take a lot of hard work but we're excited and we all know that Hope Ranch will be a success. (uplifting music) (gentle music)
