christmas day...

it is christmas day...as dreary as the day is outside so far...pouring rain & hail...my heart is filled to overflowing...family & friends surround me...laughter...new memories are being made...

i absolutely love this time of year...always have...always will...but it is not just for one reason...
sure the festivities are wonderful...the music...the lights...the christmas tree...all of it...i love and treasure...

but the main reason for christmas...the reason for the season...

God sent His son...to this world...to be born in a lonely manger...not a setting fit for a king...but he came...none the less...because of His love for you & me...He came so that we would know a better life...

i am overwhelmed by His love towards me...

wishing all my readers a wonderful joyous christmas day...may you be surrounded by those you love and cherish...but most of all...may you feel His love and peace in a special way this year...

i leave you with another one of my favorite christmas songs...

"mary, did you know?"


Mary, did you know
That your baby boy will one day walk on water?
Did you know
That your baby boy will save our sons and daughters?
Did you know
That your baby boy has come to make you new?
This child that you've delivered
Will soon deliver you

Mary, did you know
That your baby boy will give sight to a blind man?
Did you know
That your baby boy will calm a storm with his hand?
Did you know
That your baby boy has walked where angels trod?
And when you kiss your little boy
Youve kissed the face of god

Mary, did you know?
The blind will see
The deaf will hear
And the dead will live again
The lame will leap
The dumb will speak
The praises of the lamb

Mary, did you know
That your baby boy is lord of all creation?
Did you know
That your baby boy will one day rules the nations?
Did you know
That your baby boy is heavens perfect lamb?
This sleeping child youre holding
Is the great I am
