A sculpture in the middle of the park - inscribed with a Scripture reference. Designed by Alexander Phimister Proctor, and dedicated in 1927, this bronze sculpture sits near the Santa Fe Trail, inscribed with Ruth 1:16, to commemorate their "unfaltering trust in God." This video reflects on a monument in Kansas City dedicated to the "Pioneer Mother," emphasizing the enduring significance of faith and unwavering trust in God. Drawing from the biblical narrative of Ruth, it highlights the commitment to follow and share in God's blessings, even amidst hardship and the unknown. The reflection connects this historical commemoration, dating back to 1927, to the broader Christian heritage of the nation, suggesting a quiet but persistent influence on the shaping of the American landscape. It presents a thoughtful consideration of faith as a foundational element in the pioneering spirit and the establishment of a homeland.
