May all Jesus is......
and all He gives....
bless you this Christmas and always!
Sharing our annual Christmas letter with you.
Please try not to cringe at my first attempt at poetry,
just pretend that it flows nicely. :)
********************
‘Twas the night before Christmas; It’s that time again?
It’s been a full year of blessings, can we get an Amen?
There’s a roof o’er our heads; and our bellies are full
We all have been healthy; For these we are thankful.
With the kids getting older, things were getting too calm
So we decided to start our very own farm.
We have 25+ chickens and six roosters too;
Our chickens are laying eggs of brown, green and blue
There are bunnies and kitties; Our goats total seven;
A perfect sized farm…. Our own slice of Heaven.
Putting Mufasa in charge was a plan that went south;
We were constantly pulling chicks out of his mouth.
We thought something’s missing; should we examine our heads?
So we’re adding a few more….Our goats have been bred.
So, more mouths to feed; Yes, we’ve gone flipped our lids;
But you know we always said we’d love some more “kids”.
Gunner’s almost six four; Star of his team;
Playing for the Celtics is his ultimate dream.
Hunter’s thing is his camera; His MAC, most would envy;
He is def. on his way to making a movie.
Ezra’s hard work paid off after weeks of thirteen
He’s now an official U.S. Young Marine
Nevaeh’s is the one who is running the farm;
There is always a chicken tucked under her arm.
She shovels the poop; She lugs bales of hay
Not one animal will be without love for the day.
We need to live Christmas every single day;
May peace fill your heart; That’s something we pray
And speaking of praying, one thing we hope for
Saying “PLEASE” less, and the words “THANK YOU” more.
Don’t forget about Jesus; For He is the reason
We are able to celebrate this glorious Season.
So there you have it… An update from us;
We hope you are blessed with a Merry Christmas.
Peace and love~ Josh, Michelle and the gang

I think your poem is neat
I know it wasn't an easy feat
But you're wrong, for it was beautiful
Knowing from your heart, love is strong.
To say "thank you" more on bended knees
I am nodding here and saying "yes, yes, indeed!"
Friend, you think I blessed you in this life
You have no clue, you blessed me more so let's both just say "thank You!!!"
