1. The song of Zern, which is ours, did commence to be sung in the first month of this year and doth continue in the last month of this year of our Lord, two thousand and twenty-first, a year of unusual happenings and much speaking of the Lord.
2. Let them kiss me with their kisses for I both keep the record of our folk and maketh the grass short enough for dodge ball to continueth unceasingly to be played by the children of our tribe.
3. Our year did proceed thusly.
4. In the newness of the year, we did sicken of the plague which did cover the land, experiencing both mild and moderate and even worrisome symptoms. Then Sherwood our husband and father did spend but little time in the hospital close to our home, even Saint Cloud, there receiving both Ivermectin and steroids. Thusly, he walked forth from that place both healed and helped and blessed by those good doctors.
5. After much time going forth to battle against the Philistines, Aric, even Aric and his wife, Lauren, did proceed forth from the northern lands to the southern lands, even to come to rest in the village of Yulee. There to make an end of battle and to retire from the work of the Army. Silas and Ellie did delight much in the community pool and closeness of the endless moving of the waves found on their right hand.
6. Heather, the second of four, said moreover, the Lord hath delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, and hath preserved me as a mother in Zion. And Zoe, Conner, Kipling, Zachary, Griffin, and Ender did rise up and call her . . . to get them much to drink and eat. And Phillip said to Heather, Let not thy heart fail thee.
7. And the family of Maren and T. J., even Reagan and Hero and Leidy and Boone, abiding in the land of Texas, even Dallas, did rejoice much in the healing of their dearest sister and daughter, Reagan, from the darkness of childhood cancer. And they did go forth in the knowledge that their God doth hear and answereth the prayers of their hearts. And Hero did prophesy that God would work a mighty work because they are the Lorances and they don’t give up.
8. And the work of bringing forth the rising generation did continue forth in the home of one Adam, the youngest child brought forth in our home and his wife Sarah, in that Emma and Sadie and Scout and Ever Jane did play much of the piano, also their mother Sarah. While their father dideth work much to pay the cost. And they did prosper in the land.
9. And I did crieth to the Heavens for a kitten that might abide with us and she did come forth, living in the vent of the dryer, causing us to believe her to be a bat, but instead she came forth from the dryer vent to be held in the palm of our hands, needing but love and much food.
10. And in this strange and most unusual year, the Lord did speak peace unto our hearts in the saddest moments and we didest hear the voice of angels whispering much of faith, of hope, and of charity when all seemed broken and lost. And we do continue in that pattern of love, measuring our lives by the times and seasons of our God, knowing that our days are numbered and known to our Father in Heaven. May Christmas be bright with hope in thy life and may it fill all thy days.
