I love this song! Every time I hear it, I'm reminded to think outside my own 4 walls, because what goes on inside these walls isn't nearly as important as what's beyond them. Our family is blessed. While we're not rolling in dough, our needs are met-and then some. We have jobs, and insurance, food (plenty of food!), and a home of our own. We have wonderful kids and an adorable grandson who lights up our life. We've family and friends and so much more. So why not take time to consider how you can bless someone this Christmas who is need. They may have a physical need or may just need to know that someone cares. There are so many things in this world that we can't control, but we can bring joy into the lives of others, even if its only for a day.
Grown-up Christmas list
Do you remember me?
I sat upon your knee;
I wrote to you
With childhood fantasies.Well, I?m all grown-up now,
And still need help somehow.(can you still help somehow)
I?m not a child,
But my heart still can dream.
And still need help somehow.(can you still help somehow)
I?m not a child,
But my heart still can dream.
So here's my lifelong wish,
My grown-up christmas list.
Not for myself,
But for a world in need.
My grown-up christmas list.
Not for myself,
But for a world in need.
No more lives torn apart,
That wars would never start,(and wars would never start)
And time would heal all hearts.
And everyone would have a friend,
And right would always win,
And love would never end.
This is my grown-up christmas list.
That wars would never start,(and wars would never start)
And time would heal all hearts.
And everyone would have a friend,
And right would always win,
And love would never end.
This is my grown-up christmas list.
As children we believed
The grandest sight to see
Was something lovely
Wrapped beneath our tree.(wrapped beneath the tree)
The grandest sight to see
Was something lovely
Wrapped beneath our tree.(wrapped beneath the tree)
Well heaven surely knows
That packages and bows
Can never heal
A hurting human soul.
That packages and bows
Can never heal
A hurting human soul.
No more lives torn apart,
That wars would never start,
And time would heal all hearts.
And everyone would have a friend,
And right would always win,
And love would never end.
This is my grown-up christmas list.
That wars would never start,
And time would heal all hearts.
And everyone would have a friend,
And right would always win,
And love would never end.
This is my grown-up christmas list.
What is this illusion called the innocence of youth?
Maybe only in our blind belief can we ever find the truth.
(there?d be)
Maybe only in our blind belief can we ever find the truth.
(there?d be)
No more lives torn apart,
That wars would never start,
And time would heal all hearts.
And everyone would have a friend,
And right would always win,
And love would never end, oh.
This is my grown-up Christmas list.
That wars would never start,
And time would heal all hearts.
And everyone would have a friend,
And right would always win,
And love would never end, oh.
This is my grown-up Christmas list.
This is my grown-up christmas list
Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me. -Jesus
Speaking of Giving.................
Keeping in step with the old-fashioned Christmas theme, I created these gift tags with old photos of hubs and myself. It will be a fun blast from the past for our gift recipients this year.
