Christmas is all in our Hearts

9 days before we end up the 2^nd to the last month of the year.  We should feel great.  We overcome challenges we know some can’t even face. 

 

As December is nearing, the loneliness dwells in your heart.  You shouldn’t feel this way.  But sometimes when you are mentally exhausted, stress creeps in follows by some sort of depression.  You always think to be happy and contented, but when you are thinking of the world your children will experience long before you’re  gone, fear sets in.

 

You always pray to God that He help you guide your children as they grow old.  That they may experience hardship and pain, but they will always be tough and strong to overcome hurdles life may throw them. And as you wish for a better life for them, the realization that they must reach the end in a tight rope because the dreams will always be just a dream.  Somebody thinks you can live life one day at a time, no plans, no hesitations.

 

You are still praying that time will turn around and give you some glimpse of hope.  A thread that you may look upon wishing it will turn into a rope.  A rope that will help you pull up when you are too weak to fight the battles alone.

 

As Christmas is nearing, one song touches your heart. A silver lining to your sadness and the emptiness.

 

Steven Curtis Chapman’s Christmas Is all in the Heart is one of your favorite Christmas songs.  You memorize the lyrics by heart and remember the message it brings.

 

Here’s the lyrics that bring joy wherever you are, if you put Christmas in your heart.

 

In a one bedroom apartment

On the humble side of town

There stands a little Christmas tree

It looks a lot like Charlie Brown's

And underneath there's one little gift for him

And one little gift for her

After six months on the new job

They're still barely getting by

So in the way of decorations

There's nothing there to catch your eye

But both of them would be the first to say

We're together, we're gonna have the merriest Christmas anyway

'Cause Christmas is all in the heart

That's where the feeling starts

And like a fire inside, it touches every part

Christmas is all in the heart

And even if no white snow falls

Well, that's all right because

The joy can still be found, wherever you are

Christmas is all, all in the heart

Two little blond haired boys with big dreams

Tried to sleep but sleep wouldn't come

And we'd be tearing into presents

Long before the break of dawn

With mom and dad and cameras making sure

We'd never forget that day, no, no, no

Now I'm the one who's taking pictures

In the middle of the night

Of my own little dreamers

That just can't wait until daylight

And in my sleepy eyes the spark still glows

Well, I guess there's just some things a kid never outgrows

'Cause Christmas is all in the heart

That's where the feeling starts

And like a fire inside, it touches every part

Christmas is all in the heart

And even if no white snow falls

Well, that's all right because

The joy can still be found, wherever you are

Christmas is all, all in the heart

No, it's not in the snow that may or may not fall

And it's not in the gifts around the tree

It's in the love Heaven gave, that night our Savior came

And that same love can still be found wherever you are

'Cause Christmas is all in the heart

And the joy can still be found, wherever you are

'Cause Christmas is all, all in the heart

It's all in the heart
