Oh My Golly Goodness

I finished one of my presents last night and it is SO DARN CUTE!

I've had so many ideas recently that I wish I had had a month ago when it would have been possible to actually do them. But, I am happy with what I am doing and will just have to be content to leave the rest until another time!

I'm finally getting EXCITED about the gift giving part. Seeing the finished product in all its wonderfulness last night really helped. So does the fact that I've really been focusing on the REAL reason of celebrating Christmas, and the awe of it brings along with it a joy beyond words: God wrapping Himself in human flesh and dwelling among us. Is there anything more marvelous, more incredibly glorious?!?

Follow the star to a place unexpected

Would you believe after all we’ve projected
A child in a manger

Lowly and small, the weakest of all
Unlikeliness hero, wrapped in his mothers shawl
Just a child
Is this who we’ve waited for?

Cause how many kings, stepped down from their thrones?
How many lords have abandoned their homes?
How many greats have become the least for me?
How many Gods have poured out their hearts
To romance a world that has torn all apart?
How many fathers gave up their sons for me?

Bringing our gifts for the newborn savior
All that we have whether costly or meek
Because we believe
Gold for his honor and frankincense for his pleasure
And myrrh for the cross he’ll suffer
Do you believe, is this who we’ve waited for?
It’s who we’ve waited for

How many kings, stepped down from their thrones?
How many lords have abandoned their homes?
How many greats have become the least for me?
How many Gods have poured out their hearts
To romance a world that has torn all apart?
How many fathers gave up their sons for me?
Only one did that for me

All for me
All for you
All for me
All for you
