It’s early morning on the Emerald Isle. Gaze ahead as the sun rises on the cool, green astures dotted with grazing sheep. Listen to the waves crash at the staggering Cliffs of Moher as their towering crags ascend ajestically from the sea. Catch the earthy scent of sheep and cattle, fertile meadows, and dense forests. Step into a local restaurant and taste the rich flavors of a land known for its butter and potatoes. Run your hand over the soft wool of a pastured lamb or the rough, stony exterior of an age-old castle. Tune in as lively folk music entertains and delights all who listen.
In Emerald Crossing, lads and lasses will be introduced to an Irish sheep farmer named Grandpa Fitz, who runs Stillwater Farm. Through some challenges, some fun, and a few big surprises, Grandpa Fitz shows how the Lord has been his comforter and guide his whole life. Grandpa Fitz, a life-long Irish sheep farmer, has never lived anywhere but the family farm. But now he’s grown older, and the farm is getting to be too much for him. Reluctantly, he puts the farm up for sale, but then his son—and only heir—surprises him by moving back to Ireland after quitting his long-time law practice in New York City. The joy doesn’t last long, however. A greedy, corrupt county official has other ideas and almost forces the sale until his evil plan is discovered. In the ups and downs of it all, Grandpa Fitz draws strength from God, the Good Shepherd, and his wayward son finds faith, all through Psalm 23.
