E Bar S Ranch has a few ewes left to lamb out this season. You could be right in the middle of the action this lambing season by booking with The Duke. For guests wanting a closer look at ranch life, an optional self-guided feeding experience is available. Take a quiet walk to the fence line anytime during your stay, where you can feed the sheep grain or cookies provided by the ranch and watch the flock gather up close—including personalities like Airwolf and Big Bertha.

Christmas isn’t just about a baby in a manger — it’s about a King choosing humility. Christ was born not in a palace, but in a feeding trough, showing from the very beginning that His kingdom would look different from the world’s idea of power.

The Magi didn’t arrive that night. Their journey likely took months, maybe even years, and by the time they reached Jesus, He was a toddler. Yet they still knelt before Him and brought gifts that spoke prophetically: gold for a King, frankincense for one who is divine, and myrrh — a substance used for burial.

It’s hard to imagine Mary, still so young, receiving myrrh. A gift that quietly pointed not only to her Son’s birth, but to His death. From the start, Christmas carried the weight of the cross — a reminder that Jesus came not just to live among us, but to give His life for us.

That’s the real reason for Christmas: God entering the world in humility, purpose, and love.
