When I was a kid I wanted to be a football player or a lawyer. I wasn't very good at sewing things . And my sewing machine has been borrowed by lots of people, hardly used by me. Sarah has the role of Mary (the mother of Jesus). I got a note saying that I should make her a costume. I'm thinking "what"!!! Who do you think I am? I'm not my mom, or my sisters. They are good at that. I'm good at other things. Should teachers assume parents have sewing skills? And I got a 3 days notice. So I dusted off the machine and started to tear up an old sheet. Thank God Sarah looks good in anything. I'm sure more then one grandmother, and mother will shake their head at my poor work. But I must say Sarah looks sweet anyway.
Mary, did you know that your Baby Boy
will one day walk on water?
Mary, did you know that your Baby Boy
will save our sons and daughters?
Did you know that your Baby Boy
has come to make you new,
This Child that you delivered
will soon deliver you?
Mary, did you know that your Baby Boy
will give sight to a blind man?
Mary, did you know that your Baby Boy
will calm a storm with His hand?
Did you know that your Baby Boy
has walked where angels trod,
And when you kiss your little Baby
you’ve kissed the face of God?
Mary, did you know
Mary, did you know
The blind will see, the deaf will hear,
the dead will live again,
The lame will leap, the dumb will speak
the praises of the Lamb!
Mary, did you know that your Baby Boy
is Lord of all creation?
Mary, did you know that your Baby Boy
will one day rule the nations?
Did you know that your Baby Boy
is heaven’s perfect Lamb?
And this sleeping child you’re holding
is the great „I Am“!

Why not start with an IBC and cut a hole for the door? You could build closed laying boxes into it, and something for the chickens to roost on. Put some straw or saw dust on the floor. You could add vents to the side for air. If it sat inside a chicken run that you can walk into, the chickens could be safe, dry and happy. I have an extra IBC. Maybe this could be my chicken house? I bet I could even plant the outside of it with mud and grass for extra insulation and good looks.
