With God, All Things Are Possible

Song of the Day: Amy Grant - "Grown-Up Christmas List"

Do you remember me
I sat upon your knee
I wrote to you my childhood fantasy.

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
Then 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...
This is my grown-up Christmas list.

As children we believed
The grandest sight to see
Was something lovely wrapped beneath our tree.

Well, Heaven surely knows
That packages and bows
Can never heal a hurting human soul.

No more lives torn apart
Then 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...
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
Then 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 ... no ...

This is my grown-up Christmas list
This is my only lifelong wish.

This is my grown-up ... Christmas ... list ...

Think about the words in this song carefully. Then ask yourself. Are these merely hopes? Nothing more than childhood dreams and fantasies? Is this a world that is so unreachable that we can't even hope to fathom it?

Then remember the words of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, to his disciples...

Verse of the Day: "Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." - Matthew 19:26

What is your lifelong wish for the world? Does it include the presence of God?
