The worst part of owning and raising animals, is having to say goodbye! The second worst part, is knowing that with each passing year, your time with them is growing shorter and shorter.

Thursday we said goodbye to our precious Jazz…otherwise known as Jazzy, Jazzabelle, Jazzy Pants, Jazzy Jazz and most importantly Mama J as she was known as the herd mama, the OG! Jazz came to us as an owner surrender years ago, she was already an adult and came with several of her goat friends…Jeff the fainting goat was her bestie! Over the years she became one of our most precious girls on the ranch! Her personality was so funny and she loved treat time! She naturally was the herd matriarch, always taking care of everyone’s babies and being the best mama and grandmama she could possibly be. She gave us some of the most incredible, gorgeous babies over the years…including our sweet Winnie, Remi, and Ellie…who not only look like her, but act like her 😂 Jazz had gotten way up there in years and was content just living out her days with her daughters and the rest of the herd. She was truly the sweetest friend to us and everyone who ever met her. Her absence leaves a hole in our hearts and in our pasture…gone but never forgotten!! We love you sweet Jazz!!!!

In a culture that rewards constant motion, rest often feels optional or unproductive. Scripture offers a different vision. This reflection looks at Sabbath as a practice of stopping, restoring, and remembering who we are beyond our output. A timely invitation for a busy season. Read more at https://wix.to/0XBZJ8n

The word Sabbath stirs many images. For some, Sabbath means Sunday and church. For others, family meals around a familiar table. For others, quiet reflection and rest. Some practice Sabbath from Friday evening to Saturday evening as an intentional pause. However, we learned that the word Sabbath oft...

Happy New Year to everyone.A new year carries a lot of meaning, and not everyone carries it the same way. For some, January feels like a clean slate, a deep breath, a fresh start.

Friends…Kristian and I are collecting funds for the Melody Manor Ranch Angel Tree and we would love your help! We are partnering with The Bridge Ministry’s Bridge to Christmas event, where we serve under resourced children with gift bundles. Last year over 2500 children were served 🙌. This year, there’s a critical need so we are stretching our faith and believing God for the provision to provide 40 children with Christmas gifts! This is a BIG goal but with the help of friends this is totally doable!
Your donations are 100% tax deductible thru MMR and together we can make a huge difference!!
Please consider donating or sponsoring a child (or a few 😉) to help us reach this goal!

Generosity gives everyone the power to make a positive change in the lives of others and is a fundamental value anyone can act on. Thank you for considering Melody Manor Ranch this and helping further the mission of being a place of hope, healing, and restoration to so many.

Melody Manor Ranch has set a small goal of $5000 to help finish out a few pre-winter projects and purchase hay for the winter, which will help take care of the animals in a safer way during the cold, wet and wintery season.
