Wow this Christmas season has flown by, last year we didn't get to really prepare for the event as well since I was in the hospital for a week, and Maddie was very sick. This Christmas things have been very different. No one has been sick, and things have moved rather smoothly. I purchase our last Christmas gift last night, now tonight I have about 60 cookies to ice! And this weekend a lot of baking, wrapping and packing. We are heading to Ohio this year first, than on Christmas day we drive to Michigan and spend a couple days there. It was kind of sad this year, that no one came to my house to see all the decorations. I am going to take a video this weekend of all the new things we did this year around the house. I actually purchased another tree this year. So we have two big trees to decorate from here on out.
I wanted to share with you this new Christmas song that we sang in church a couple of weeks ago. It is amazing.
It is by Chris Tomlin
Called Emmanuel (Hallowed Manger Ground)
What hope we hold this starlit night
A King is born in Bethlehem
Our journey long, we seek the light
That leads to the hallowed manger ground
What fear we felt in the silent age
400 years, can He be found
But broken by a baby's cry
Rejoice in the hallowed manger ground
Emmanuel, Emmanuel
God incarnate here to dwell
Emmanuel, Emmanuel
Praise His name, Emmanuel
The Son of God here born to bleed
A crown of thorns would pierce His brow
And we beheld this offering
Exalted now the King of kings
Praise God for the hollowed manger ground
