This Thanksgiving we're thankful for Jesus, family, great friends,and the unconditional love they've shown us.
We wish you and yours a very Happy Thanksgiving. We think of those so much less fortunate than ourselves and ask God to help us be His love to a thirsty and hurting world.Our hearts are with our friends in Haiti and the serious situation they are facing this holiday season.
Our family counts each one of you that has prayed, encouraged, given, followed along, and loved a blessing and gift from God.
On-line 'relationships' often feel empty and fake. That is not really what we've experienced here and we thank you for walking this journey of faith, struggle, pain, and joy with us.
Seriously - thank.you.
May you know His provision, experience His healing love, and rest in His mercy and grace this Thanksgiving.

The FOURTH ANNUAL Livesay CHRISTMAS extravaganza entered production phase in late October. All of the filming took place weeks ago, we're editing and getting it ready now. What started as a last minute "horrible idea" in 2007 has turned into a family tradition. Members of this family have varying opinions on exactly how fun the tradition is, but most family traditions come with some rolling of the eyes and a smidge of consternation, right?
We hope to have the 2010 production finished and posted by mid-December.
To see the last three years go here/2007 (the year Silent Night took on new meaning and no one was able to remember lines) and here/2008 (the year we used a Mastiff as a donkey and Britt and Chris mailed footage from Waco) and 2009 (the year Troy declared Tara certifiable but still agreed to write a Christmas song) is posted above.
Last year included lifting a donkey in and out of a large truck. This year we had zero access to live stable animals. Our beards and costume stash sit in a dusty closet in Haiti. All that to say, now is the time to lower your expectations because we're going in a totally new direction this year.
We're taking off for a few days of family time. Have a Happy Thanksgiving.

Love the performances by all. Even the roosters........they just have to get their 2cents worth don't they......they just never know when to be quiet!!
have a very happy thanksgiving - i am thankful for you and the stories you share!
I would still love to be able to purchase this song with Hope singing it. Maybe a fund raiser idea?
Tara and Troy,
I personally want to say I am thankful to you. You have gone to the hard places, you have walked in the steps of Jesus Christ..and doing so, you have encouraged my faith in Him over the last year. I don't post comments much, but, I have prayed for you all and cried for the beautiful people in Haiti more than I can count. Your stories and experiences have opened my eyes to a world that was hidden from me by religious pharisees for far too long. I am now a supporter of Heartline, and am passionate about being his hands and feet and MOUTH, now more than ever. So, I thank you. I am also now involved in theadventureproject.org, that is bringing charcoal stoves to the people of Haiti as one solution to the huge poverty issue there. I pray that together we can make a difference. Have a great Thanksgiving Day,
In Him,
Chrissy
Can I just say that Hope has an AMAZING voice! I loved going back and watching the videos from previous years and seeing how the tradition has grown. I'm both curious and excited to see what you come up with this year!
Thanks be to God for the single most beautiful, wonderful, and important GIFT He has given us - His son, Jesus Christ. Glory to God in the highest!
PS: I would buy the song Hope is singing in a heartbeat!
Can't wait for the video!!! Have a happy thanksgiving, and I hope that you all can share good memories together as you grieve as well!
We wait in giddy anticipation of the video for this year. Hope's beautiful voice still brings a tear to my eye. Happy Thanksgiving!
We are thankful for you guys and your honesty way of sharing Haiti and your lives.
I am so glad you posted that again. Now I have the song stuck in my head, and I LOVE IT! :)
Blessings!

Wow! I'm blown away--especially by Hope's singing of Troy's song. Add me to the list of people who want to buy it.

Love your blog - love your burden for Haiti. Love the video and the fact that you didn't edit out the ending. Your families are in our thoughts and prayers, not just at this time of the year, but throughout. God bless you.
