Christmas on Our Farm

December 21, 2008 7:58 PM 7
MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM THE COUNTRY! Come for a visit to our farm, a lot has happened these past 2 weeks!
First, come down the driveway…
Then let’s ring the bell and see the new animals born these past few days… First, look at the precious baby donkey on the left below. She is 3 weeks old today and she looks JUST like her mama
(the dark jenny donkey on the left in the first picture)!
Look at the little bull below on the right.
He is only ONE day old in this picture. He looks JUST like his mama too…

And now let’s check out some other sites around the farm!
THE PECAN TREES!
Did you know pecans grew on trees? They are being harvested right now!
(I’ll post a delicious pecan pie recipe soon.)
THE POND! (Full of bass, catfish, bream and FUN for the children!)
THE SHEEP (Check out the big “shofar” horns on the Ram in the center!)

Now come in our front door for something good to eat, then say goodbye out the back door (back door guests are best)!
and y’all come back now, ya hear?

Merry Christmas and Much Love from Georgia Jan! Emmanuel – God WITH us! Hallelujah & Amen!

Siesta Ornament Exchange 08

December 12, 2008 11:41 AM 4

This Ornament Exchange has been a wonderful blessing because I had our very own Siesta Patty’s name and she had my name – how about that??? Patty is precious and thoughtful and the gifts matched my season of life during this Christmas season. She blessed me with a box of goodies. Several ornaments – one that said “Believe” (see it there between Redeemer and Jesus) because she knew I believed God for a grandbaby that wasn’t supposed to be here! She also gave me a picture frame that said “M-I-R-A-C-L-E” because that is what I believe happened when Zeke was born against all odds. Thank God He is in control of “all odds.” She also sent me a gift card to Hobby Lobby and I applied it toward my new Christmas wreath…I am so proud of myself because I am not a crafty person. Patty introduced me (through her blog) to a drink at Starbucks called a “Caramel Apple Spice” (or is it Cinnamon Apple Spice)? Anyway, she sent me a gift card to Starbucks and I will be able to enjoy this drink several more times thanks to her generosity! You know what else I absolutely LOVED? My Christmas card from Patty. The back said “Christmas on the Farm” and I live on a farm. (Did you know my card said that Patty?) It is the prettiest card I have received all year. Thank you Patty for your generosity amidst all you have gone through – being sick and the changes in your life. You are a true blessing and I am praying that God will return your giving spirit in ways that only He can do!

Merry Christmas to all, Georgia Jan

Christmas Blessings

Christmas Blessings from Georgia Jan!
2008 has been an amazing year of blessings for our family with TWO new members added! First, a precious daughter-in-love back in June. She is the prayed-for wife of my youngest son (the gorgeous brunette on the far right). A home girl – the best!!! Then on a hot Sunday afternoon in August, God blessed our lives with Zeke (Ezekiel), that precious m-i-r-a-c-l-e bundle, shown here in the safe arms of his granddaddy!
The Joy of Christmas…
Come Christmastime, the treasured gifts are never made of gold.
Come Christmastime the best bequests are actually quite “old.”
A card arriving from afar with news of something sweet,
a phone call with a greeting from friends just down the street.
A blog post from a siesta with a message from her heart.
Proceeds from a cookbook in which we took a part
to bring fresh water to a land our eyes may never see,
while praying that the Living Water will truly set them free.
The joy of meeting face to face in the August Texas heat,
the event entitled Siesta Fiesta – we couldn’t wait to meet!
We are believers in this cyberspace who love the Word of God,
we keep in touch, we love and pray, and read each other’s blogs!
May you find some time this Christmas to meditate and pray,
and thank the Heavenly Father for the gifts He sends your way.
The gifts of hope and peace and salvation through His Son,
will warm your hearts and keep you close until the victory’s won.
The best of Christmastime is often tried and true,
the prayers and love down in my heart are what I send to you.
Much Love,
Georgia Jan

My Little Butterball Grandboy

December 3, 2008 1:07 AM 7

Good Evening Friends:

Just a quick post to say hello to y’all. My family had a wonderful Thanksgiving – I made a great Caramel Cake (I’ll post the recipe soon). The food was good – the fellowship sweet – blessings abound.
It was my little grandson’s first Thanksgiving and he was so sweet all day. His bib said “Gobble, Gobble!” He is almost 4 months old now, and is such a little butterball himself. I wanted to gobble up lots of kisses and so that is what I did!
I am so very thankful for this baby boy – he is bringing great joy to us all! As we draw closer to Christmas I can’t help but think about the baby who brought JOY and HOPE and PEACE to the world that first Christmas.
That baby was God Incarnate – Emmanuel – God With Us. God robed in flesh – born to die. Hallelujah, what a Savior!
Much Love to You All, Georgia Gran Jan
