Post of the week on the farm:
“Where is God When Your Miracle Doesn’t Happen”
On the days that I wrestle hard with the questions, I sit long with honest songs, the tightened guitar strings echoing the ache of my prayers— and there are rests where I rest in the knowing:
Living in the tension of mystery and miracle ties a broken heart to God.
you can’t help but smile:
The best!
So funny!
I LOVE this!
The kindness of strangers
I want to pick him up!
So so fun!

What we’re Listening to on the Farm this week
House of Worship, Michael W. Smith & Chris Brown
“One More Day”
on the book stack at the farm
Our family absolutely LOVES the work of Joe Sutphin who illustrates children’s books and graphic novels.
These include the timeless classics Little Christmas Carol and Little Pilgrim’s Progress , the official graphic novelization of Richard Adams’s masterwork Watership Down, Andrew Peterson’s beloved Wingfeather Saga, and more! THESE ARE GORGEOUS CLASSICS for every child’s library!
As a family, we will be reading Little Christmas Carol and our youngest will be working through the Little Christmas Carol Activity book! — what a gift to every family!
From the creators of the bestselling, beautifully illustrated Little Christmas Carol comes a companion activity and coloring book to engage young kids’ hearts, hands, and minds. Your kids will be delighted as they immerse themselves in the mazes, crosswords, word searches, and more. Imaginative illustrations are just waiting to be enlivened with color. These pages are filled with joyful activities that will help your kids to participate and connect with the classic Christmas story of the endearing humbug whose life of greed, regret, and loneliness is redeemed and joyfully changed.
