Once Upon A Christmastime

 

Once Upon A Christmastime

Once upon a Christmastime

The angels sang with joy,

To herald the coming

Of a precious Baby Boy.

Their shouting filled the heavens

And shook the mighty earth,

And sent the sheperds searching

For the place of His glorious birth.

And when they found the manger

And gazed upon His face,

They knelt in adoration

In that low and holy place.

Oh, Father, fill me with the love

That filled the earth that night,

A love that reaches throughout the world,

And fills it with your light.

 Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas 

and the joy of knowing God's greatest gift of all!

My Barnyard Blessings

While milking cows last night, my mind started making a list of all of the blessings I have received this week. Here are just a few.

I traveled to Kansas City, Missouri to mentor a group of Dairy Moms at a Midwest Dairy social media workshop; sharing ideas and stories, renewing friendships and creating new ones. Thank you for this blessing.

After 29 days in the hospital and a transitional care facility, my Dad is returning home tomorrow! Thank you for this blessing!

Welcome home Dad!

And lastly, God welcomed another Farmer to heaven this week, as my Uncle LaVerne died unexpectedly. I know God has wrapped him in His loving arms. Thank you for this blessing.

What if we woke up tomorrow with only the things 

we thanked God for today?

Giving Thanks

  

I am thankful for my family; for my husband that loves my quirks, and my children that accept that I may embarrass  them once in a while. I am thankful for my friends, who put up with my crabby days as well as my silly days. I am thankful for my comfortable home, messy bathrooms and all. I am thankful for our farm and our animals, even when machinery needs repairing and a cow needs help giving birth in the middle of the night. Thank you God for my many Barnyard Blessings.

 

What if you woke up today with only the things you thanked God for yesterday?
