a heavy heart...

My heart is heavy from Celebrate Recovery last night. The joy of being able to celebrate our growth and recovery is such a beautiful blessing. The Shadow of our struggles...heartbreaking. It was a heavy night last night. I am nursing a hurting heart today. For the lost. For the broken. For the hurting, the angry, the lonely. However, I trust in the Lord and give it all to Him. I praise Him through this...He is Jehovah Rapha...the God who Heals...He is Emmanuel...God with Us. He is our Refuge, our Strength, our very present help in time of need. He is my Shield and my Song. My reason for this season.

My Grown Up Christmas List

Do you remember me
I sat upon your knee
I wrote to you
With childhood fantasies
Well, I'm all grown up now
And still need help somehow
I'm not a child
But my heart still can dream
So here's my lifelong wish
My grown up Christmas list
Not for myself
But for a world in need

No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal the heart
And everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end oh,
This is my grown up Christmas list

As children we believed
The grandest sight to see
Was something lovely
Wrapped beneath the tree
But heaven only knows
That packages and bows
Can never heal
A hurting human soul

No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts
And everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end
Oh, This is my grown up Christmas list

What is this illusion called the innocence of youth
Maybe only in our blind belief can we ever find the truth

No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts
And everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end, oh

This is my grown up Christmas list
This is my only life long wish
This is my grown up Christmas list
