From Memphis to Mountain City it’s Christmas time in Tennessee. Hello and welcome to Tennessee Home and Form Radio I’m Tomas Capps. The anticipation is over Christmas Day is here and people across the world are celebrating with family and friends. Here in Tennessee folks are celebrating in all kinds of ways like Loudoun County dairy farmer, John Harrison.

John Harrison
It’s different on the farm than probably most other places. You know, I had to work all my life growing up on Christmas. So Christmas is like a lot of our Sundays, are kind of a mad rush. So you hurry up and get things done. So you can do family things. But they are kind of special. And they’re special now for us because we have a grandchild now, we’ve got a daughter in law and her son in law, probably going to have another one or two so that makes Christmas more special.

But perhaps this Christmas isn’t merry and bright for some due to hardship and challenges. Governor Bill Lee reminds us that the true meaning of Christmas gives us hope, no matter our circumstances.

Governor Bill Lee
God uses the hardest circumstances in our lives oftentimes for transformation, and uses them and redeems them in ways that we couldn’t even imagine. I think that’s true for communities, for cities, for families, for countries. So redemption brings hope for me, this is a very hopeful season. And we’re all mindful of that. A tragic, a tragic event in you know, in the life of the one who was born in this season. All of that’s redemption. So, when we think about countries, economies, communities, really difficult times that we’re walking through, we can walk through those with hope. Because, you know, that’s how it works.

Christ born in the most humble of circumstances, all to bring peace and goodwill towards men, and life everlasting. Merry Christmas from all of us here at Tennessee Home and Farm Radio. I’m Thomas Capps.
