Is it appropriate to say Merry Christmas at this time? Okay. We went out and cut a Christmas tree yesterday

with our family, which was a lot of fun.

And Kathy cut it down, the chainsaw.

That's serious.

Cut it down with a chainsaw.

She's like, I'm going to cut this tree down myself.

Yeah.

You guys know, like she hunts, she fishes,

she cuts things with a chainsaw, she rides horses.

I'm actually the woman in the house, I just want to confess that to you.

I think I'm the one who went through manopause and shouldn't. It's very sad. That's why I sleep with one eye open, you know. It's like, somebody breaks into our house, I wake her. I'm like, check that out. I'll call the police. She's, but it was quite fun. We had our almost two-year-old granddaughter with us and hiking through the woods,

and I got to use my four-wheel drive. That was a lot of fun. Yes. Anyway, you guys didn't get that.

Okay, why don't you grab a hand? Let's pray. Holy Spirit. Thank you so much for what you've done for us already, God.

Thanks for this year.

Lord, we thank you that in the midst of the turmoil that you're constant,

your constant peace, your constant provision for us,

your constant encouragement to us.
