Christmas evening will find me back at the farm feeding everyone their dinner. I promised the next door neighbors that I would close their chicken coop up. Now, not in my life have I ever closed up chickens in a coop, but Cheryl assures me, the chickens will walk right in at dusk for safety.
Christmas for me this year will also be about loving my two English Cocker Spaniels.
You may ask, where is loving her family? I will also love my family, but adding some family to help me with the animal feeding will make it even more special. Katie and gang will come the day after Christmas. I will press them into animal feeding service.I am reminded of the song, "All things bright and beautiful, all creatures great and small, all things wise and wonderful, the Lord God made them all.
This Christmas we wait for the miracle of our Savior's birth. We also wait for a miracle to end my hubbie's unemployment which happened a week ago. I am so glad I have Christ who has taught me to love His creatures, my family and the circumstances I am in. St. Paul said "to be thankful in all things." Our Lord also instructed us to "fear not, I am with you."
I look forward to this Christmas, sending cards, and love, I miss hearing from family members, but love thinking about how much I love and miss then. I love getting cards and seeing how children and grandchildren have grown. You see, Christmas is about love, and "love casts out all fear." May your Christmas be filled with the love of Christ.
PS I will document the animal feeding with pictures.
