In the meantime I pray that you are enjoying the daily choices of music. I pray that your soul has been stirred and that you've drawn closer to Emmanuel every day approaching the 25th.
I so desparately want my children to "get" Christmas. Not the commercialism, bells and whistles, hustle and bustle Christmas, but the peaceful, goodwill to men on Earth, Emmanuel Christmas. I pray that the way we celebrate/observe this season is a representation of God. I hope that they are learning that the birth of Jesus is SO much more important than today's "deal of the day" or most exciting new toy. I pray that as years go by that their "want" lists will grow shorter and their "give" lists will grow longer. I want my children to rest, relax and soak it all in, instead of doing, going, being.
Evidently this is a new movie, just released last month. It is based on a true story. Here is the "Heart of Christmas" as sung by Matthew West.
