Greer Farm Newsletter: Christmas 2008
January 09, 2009 - 09:55 AM
Some have asked if we can post our newsletters on our blog. We can and we will start with the last one of 2008. Thanks for the suggestion. I know the formating is not right and will try to figure out how to correct this when we post the next newsletter in a few days.
Happy New Year

Season's Greetings
from
The Greer Farm
This is the season of reflection on the farm.
Things slow down and we have more time before
the hearth to look back at 2008.
It was a good year.
God has blessed us and each of our children in
countless ways that we are most thankful for.
We had new additions to the family:
Grandson Timothy Daniel Walters born on December 6th, son of Jon and Amy (Greer) Walters
Javier Sidney del Angel Bautista born on November 13th, son of Javier Francisco and Jovita del Angel Bautista.
Gina, our youngest daughter and her husband Max
returned from Tanzania.
Our son Karl and daughter Amy and their families survived hurricane Ike.
Our berry and fruit crop were a success.
We had just enough customers for our grass-fed beef.
Many continued to appreciate Chef Eva's culinary talents.
The weather was supporting of our agricultural efforts.
We made many new friends.
Some of you came to know us by picking berries,
buying vegetables or fruit.
Others by ordering a quarter of beef, dining at the farm or
staying in one of our lakeside log cabins.
However our crossing came to chance, we very much appreciate
you and your support of our family farm.
It is because of you that we can be here.
We look forward to 2009 and we hope to see you again.
A Charlie Brown Christmas is a classic short film.
Charlie searches for the meaning of Christmas
and then in the end finds it.
At this season we share with you his discovery.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
from all of us at The Greer Farm

"And there were in the same country shepherds, abiding in the field,keeping watch over their flock by night.And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them!
|
And they were sore afraid ...And the angel said unto them, "Fear not!For, behold, I bring you tidings o great joy, which shall be to all my people.
|
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ, the Lord."
|
"And this shall be a sign unto you:Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger." And suddenly, there was with the angel a multitude of the Heavenly Host praising God,and saying,"Glory to God in the Highest, and on Earth peace, and good will toward men."
|
"That's what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown."
