Sometimes I stop long enough to actually contemplate God's love for me and it takes my breath away. I wish I could express it as well as some of the musical artist out there. About a week ago I was getting dressed and the lyrics of a song caught my attention. I thought I could remember them and look them up later, but I haven't been able to find them, as I was looking for "what kind of king"....then this morning I heard it again and made sure I wrote it down. It is by a group I have never heard of before, Downhere and called "How Many Kings?"...the lyrics are amazing and have made me once again realize how great the Father's love is for me. I am so glad that nothing I do or don't do can cause Him to love me any more or any less. Thank you God. This has quickly become my new favorite song.

Christmas Cards
I usually buy my Christmas Cards when they go on sale after Christmas for the following year. I started many years ago trying to pick a card that has a great message about Christ and not just a fun Christmas or Winter scene. It might be the only chance that some of the people I send the card to hear anything about my Lord and the reason for the season.
This year I decided I might need more cards than what I bought last year since we moved and now I need to add some Texas friends to my list. So while at Walmart yesterday I decided to see if I could find a card I liked. Imagine my surprise when Walmart's displays were all labeled Holiday cards. The ones that had a spiritual message were called Inspirational cards. Holiday cards?? I didn't see any for Valentines or Easter, just Christmas cards....why is it that Christmas is the only day of celebration that is now a holiday? Because no other holiday as the word Christ associated with it. You don't see Happy Holiday on an Easter card. So why can't Walmart just label the cards as what they are....Christmas Cards? I wonder if Walmart and all the other stores that have removed Christmas from their advertising realize that the word Holiday is actually derived from "holy day"? Political correctness....if there are Hanukah cards, Kwanza cards, and Holiday cards, why can't there also be a section called Christmas cards? So I just didn't buy any of Walmart's Holiday cards and went to Hobby Lobby and found some cute Christmas cards entitled "Sharing The Story". Thought they were perfect as that is what I want to do with my Christmas cards is share the story.
