I Believe

 We kicked off the Christmas season last night by buying our third annual REAL Christmas tree!

It's the most wonderful time of the year, when you can cut down a living coniferous tree, stick it on a stand, throw lights, plastic balls, plastic silver tinsel, and stick a star on top and no one will think you've gone insane.

I love it!

 I grew up with a REAL Christmas tree every year.

And I'm so glad that I married a man who also loves that REAL pine smell filling our home.

Now that Thanksgiving has passed, we are in full blown Christmas decor, Christmas cards, planning Christmas dinner, coordinating Christmas parties, and of course the dreaded Christmas budget.  

However, I'm really trying to stay in the Christmas spirit.  And in that spirit I would like to share my favorite song of the season...

 

 Mary, did you know
That your baby boy
Would someday walk on water?
Mary 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?
Mary did you know
That your baby boy
Will calm the storm with his hand?
Did you know that your baby boy
Has walked where angels trod?
When you kiss your little baby
You've kissed the face of God.
The blind will see
The deaf will hear
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?
Mary did you know
That your baby boy
Will one day rule the nations?
Did you know
That your baby boy
Is heaven's perfect Lamb?
This sleeping child you're holding
Is the Great I Am
