Just wanted to wish you all a Merry Christmas before I log off of the computer for a Christmas break. It's pretty warm here in Kentucky so it's doubtful that we'll have a white Christmas or anything, but I'll still look out at our old barn and think about the humble birth of our Savior. You know it really was such a strange way to save the world.

I love that song. In the song Joseph asks "Why me?" "Why here?" "Why her, she's just an ordinary girl?" and it just reminds me of how God uses ordinary people in lowly places. Sometimes it's hard to understand what God is doing, but yet His ways are not ours. And as the song says, "Love has to reach so far."

So as I think about the greatest gift that we've ever been given and then look at the gifts God has given me - my husband, my boys, this farm, and a little assortment of animals. He has taken us in a different direction than Tony and I ever would have expected. Our path hasn't been predictable and it hasn't been easy. He could have given this farm to lots of other people, but yet He put us here. We may not always know  why, but we are just thankful again for yet another gift straight from Heaven.

Merry Christmas Y'all!
We're rejoicing here in Kentucky.
