So Christmas day might seem like a weird day to be writting on my blog, but since I haven't been able to sleep since 4 because my unborn child thinks I don't need sleep, I guess a Christmas Day blog it is!!! I've actually been meaning to type something up for a while, but I just haven't. There have been a lot of thoughts going through my head this season but I just haven't writtne them down. One of the things I have been thinking about a lot is the true meaning of the season. While December 25 is probably not the actual day that Jesus was born, it is why we as Christians celebrate. I love Christmas and that includes Christmas music. Dan does not love Christmas music the same way, however we have found one CD that both of us really like. It is the Casting Crowns "Peace On Earth" CD. In one particular song, "While You Were Sleeping" there is a line that says
"United States of America
Looks like another silent night
As we're sung to
sleep by philosophies
That save the trees and kill the children"
and that line got to me every single time I heard it this year. Maybe I have a new perspective because I've lost a child, maybe it's God working in me, or maybe it's just pregnancy hormones I have no idea, but the ridiculousness of the fact that in today's world we do everything we can to save the trees, animals, environment, etc but so easily throw away a child's life through abortion floors me. It makes me want to shout from the rooftops about how silly that actually is. Maybe a New Year's resolution for those of us who see the value in human life should be to not be afraid to take a stand?
Dec 30
So I had to stop writting the other day due to my daughter and husband waking up and Christmas morning actually starting! Nothing wrong with that though!!!!! My mind is still caught up in the same thoughts about the value of a human life and I love that God uses the smallest things to really make you think about life!!!!!
