🚜 Riding Through History on Our John Deere

There’s something special about an old tractor—especially our beloved John Deere that’s been a part of Oostema Farmstead. It’s a testament to the enduring spirit of farming and a reminder of all the hands that have worked to make our farm what it is today. 🌾👨

The lighted parade is this coming Saturday!

AS WE COME TOGETHER this coming Saturday for the Northwest Lighted Christmas Parade, and as is our custom before such events, we ask those who are so inclined to join us in in a prayer over this event, and our community this holiday season.
We come in deep humility as we give our heartfelt thanks for the blessing of living in an area where gathering together is not just accepted, but a purposeful and meaningful expectation.

We celebrate the blessing of living life in a community where small groups of two or three still gather in friendship and fellowship to share a morning cup of coffee, often bonded in laughter, occasionally in sorrow, yet also experience the joy of thousands of children, women and men gathering as one, to celebrate one another and this community, and do so because of the heartfelt love for those around them, be it family, friends, soon-to-be friends, or strangers with whom they will interact for the briefest moments in time, all loved, all respected, all as one.

We ask that the weather be favorable for many to gather outdoors on a December evening, with safe travel for all, both to and from the parade, locals and visitors alike, with the love of the Christmas season in the air, wrapping around each of us like warm embrace.

We lift up and seek a blanket of safety for those organizing and supporting this event, those entered into the parade, the many volunteers who help to keep others safe and the parade moving along, for the spectators lining the streets, and for law enforcement and others who work to keep us safe.

We give thanks to You for our generous sponsors, be they giving of their treasure, their time, or their talents, all coming together to help create positive memories for a lifetime for so many, and to continue to build up the community in which they do business.

Finally, though perhaps most importantly, we ask that through You, especially during this Season of Celebration for love coming to the world, that we are generous of spirit, abundant in patience, quick to love, slow to anger, thoughtful, respectful and kind, to one another, and as is often not the case, to our own selves. May we receive with humility, and give back in multiples the same way. May we shine Your light like the lights of Christmas into a too often dark world, giving hope and love in overwhelming abundance, until cups runneth over.

Amen

We thank each of you for your time, and regardless if your travel to Lynden is to walk a block or a long drive, we hope you are able to attend the parade and get to experience the love of Lynden firsthand.
God bless, and see you Saturday!
