Sarah, I am like so amazed! You see God has placed it on my heart to do what you just did! My hair is shoulder length now and I have some layers to grow out, but I have told my hairdresser and she said it will take about a year and a half to grow my hair to the right length. I have really thick hair so I figured it was a good thing to do as long as I can STAND grewing it in! I asked my hairdresser to encourage me but I told her..."If I am going insane I may bag the whole idea." She is supportive! Ever since Vinny died I have been wanting to do this and it is only a short time out of my life and ...hey...it's just hair! I used to have really long hair and I wished I had known about "locks of love" then when I wanted to get it cut shorter! Well, I hope I can stick it out! What a great thing!

Hi Jilly, It took me a little over a year to grow my hair out( for it to be the 10 inches to cut off). I also have really thick hair, so I know what you mean about being able to stand it. I just keept telling myself that "I can do this" and I prayed about it. Plus another thing that helped me do it was, that my really good friend is also doing this( so we both had support of each other). Although she has to wait until Feb. for her hair to be long enough. I have faith in you, Jilly! I just know you can do it! And I am here for you too! If you want I can send you pictures of me- before and after pictures. Just pm me with your email address.
 
Jen, your welcome and I sent you an email :D

Tasha, I am glad to hear that at least someone is getting snow and you got a snow day out of it too, that is to cool! I use to love it when we got snow days! We did get a little bit of snow here a couple of days ago, but now it's pretty much gone. Bummer, now I can't make a snowman. I think it is going to snow again on Christmas day, that's what they say anyway( I hope it does).

Hi PG and welcome! :wave:
 
Hey Jill's in the house!! :rockband:
Jill, what an awesome opportunity to witness. I am so proud of you and your son, and I'm so excited about all of the children who were able to hear about Jesus and see Him in your lives. :)

I like this song

The night was cold
They had traveled so far
Mary and Joseph knew deep in their hearts
This was the night
The awaited Messiah would come
A gift from above

Oh, star so bright
Oh, heavenly light
You filled Bethlehem’s sky with splendor
Oh, God’s own Son
Oh, innocent One
You have made this a night to remember. Oh
Made this a night to remember

The Baby Jesus so peacefully sleeps
This is the night the awaited Messiah
Has come

Oh, star so bright
Oh, heavenly light
You filled Bethlehem’s sky with splendor
Oh, God’s own Son
Oh, innocent One
You have made this a night to remember
Made this a night to remember

Oh holy night, the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior’s birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Till He appears and the song felt His worth
Oh, baby Jesus, You have made this a night
Made this a night to remember
 
On a cold night, late December
As the snow fell to earth
That's the one night, we remember
When a woman gave birth
And for miles and miles around
The baby's cry was the only sound

Did He know the world was filled with pain
Could He feel all the hunger and the shame
Or did He know about the way He would die
And the reason why
Is that what made the baby cry?
Is that what made the baby cry?

As his Mother turned to hold Him
Her face filled with joy
He grew quiet when She told Him
He was more than just her baby boy
And for miles and miles around
Her lullaby was the only sound

Did She know the world was filled with pain
Could She feel all the hunger and the shame
Or did She know about the way He would die
And the reason why
Is that what made Her baby cry?
Is that what made Her baby cry?

And as He fell asleep
She wiped away His tears
But the question still remains
Have we changed in two thousand years

Don't you know the world is still in pain
Can't you feel all the hunger and the shame
Did we forget about the way that He died
And the reason why
Would we still make the baby cry?
Would we still make the baby cry?
 

Come they told me
A newborn King is born
Our finest gifts we bring
To lay before the King
So to honor Him
pa rum pum pum pum
When we come

Baby Jesus
I am a poor boy too
I have no gift to bring
That's fit to give a King
Shall I play for you on my drum

Mary nodded
The ox and lamb kept time
I played my best for Him
Then He smiled at me
Me and my drum
 
FOR MOM 9-4-37 ~ 1-10-97

Her house was where the family gathered every Christmas eve;
A feast was set on the table and gifts were placed beneath the tree.
Everything was picture perfect, Grandpa would laugh and say,
That woman spends the whole year getting ready for this day.

One year the leaves began to fall and her health began to fade;
We moved her to a place where they could watch her night and day.
But she kept making plans for Christmas from her little room;
She told everyone, I'll miss you but I'll be leaving soon.

I'm going home for Christmas and I'm going home to stay;
I'm going home for Christmas and nothing's gonna keep me away.
I'll be with the ones I love to celebrate the Savior's birth;
This gift will be worth more to me than anything on earth.
I'm going home, home for Christmas.

All the leaves outside have fallen to be covered by the snow;
The family comes with food and gifts and Grandpa comes alone.
There's a sadness in our silence as the Christmas story's read,
And with tears, Grandpa reminds us of the words that Grandma said.

I'm going home for Christmas and I'm going home to stay;
I'm going home for Christmas and nothing's gonna keep me away.
She'll be face to face with Jesus as we celebrate His birth,
And this gift will be worth more to her than anything on earth,
Cause she'll be home.

And as we sing 'Joy to the World' I can't help thinking
Of the joy that's in her eyes right now.
And though our hearts still ache, we know that as we celebrate,
She's singing with the herald angels and heaven's glowing on her face.

And now she's home for Christmas and now she's home to stay;
She's home for Christmas, and nothin' could've kept her away.
She'll be face to face with Jesus, as we celebrate His birth,
And this gift will be worth more to her than anything on earth.
She's home, she's home for Christmas.
She is home, she's home for Christmas.
 
Hi everyone! Great singing going on here!

Tasha, it's great to see you. You've been in my thoughts and prayers! :hug:

Welcome peacefulgirl! I love your user name and your tag! ::yes::

Jilly! You know I would never pass up a chance to sing a 4HIM song! :teeth:

One of my favorite Christmas songs from the best Christmas cd EVER ~

Hold On To Christmas/4HIM

Light the fire and trim the tree
It won’t be long ‘til Christmas Eve
So close your eyes and make believe
That dreams really do come true

Manger scenes and mistletoe
Christmas cards from friends we know
They’ll disappear like melted snow
At least for another year

Watching children as they play
Makes you wish that Christmas would stay

All year long just for
Dreamers like me
And those who believe
The joy of the season would stay
All year long like a December snow
That just won’t let go
Let’s hold on to Christmas this year

Long ago and far away
Love was born on Christmas day
A cattle stall, a bed of hay
A star shining in the sky

Even as the shepherds prayed
Heaven knew that Christmas would stay

All year long just for
Dreamers like me
And those who believe
The joy of the season would stay
All year long like a December snow
That just won’t let go
Let’s hold on to Christmas this year

All year long like a December snow
That just won’t let go
Let’s hold on to Christmas this year...
 
I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas!!!

We have our dinner today. The turkey's going in the oven very shortly! My children go with their dad at 1:00 tomorrow, so we have a nice dinner, we play some games and then we go to the 10:00 candlelight service at church. I'll be singing, "Mary, Did you Know?"

I do hope everyone has a blessed, joyful Christmas :grouphug:
 
Merry Christmas everyone. I pray that you have a happy blessed day!
 
Louis Cassels' The Birds

Once upon a time, there was a man who looked upon Christmas as a lot of humbug.
He wasn't a Scrooge. He was a very kind and decent person, generous to his family, upright in all of his dealings with other men.
But he didn't believe all that stuff about an Incarnation which churches proclaim at Christmas. And he was too honest to pretend that he did.
"I am truly sorry to distress you," he told his wife, who was a faithful churchgoer. "But I simply cannot understand this claim that God became a man. It doesn't make any sense to me."
On Christmas Eve, his wife and children went to church for the midnight service. He declined to accompany them.
"I'd feel like a hypocrite," he explained. "I'd much rather stay at home. But I'll wait up for you."
Shortly after his family drove away in the car, snow began to fall. He went to the window and watched the flurries getting heavier and heavier.
"If we must have Christmas," he reflected, "it's nice to have a white one."
He went back to his chair by the fireside and began to read his newspaper.
A few minutes later, he was startled by a thudding sound. It was quickly followed by another, then another. He thought that someone must be throwing snowballs at his living-room window.
When he went to the front door to investigate, he found a flock of birds huddled miserably in the snow. They had been caught in the storm, and in a desperate search for shelter had tried to fly through his window.
"I can't let these poor creatures lie there and freeze," he thought. "But how can I help them?"
Then he remembered the barn where the children's pony was stabled. It would provide a warm shelter.
He quickly put on his coat and galoshes and tramped through the deepening snow to the barn. He opened the doors wide and turned on a light.
But the birds didn't come in.
"Food will bring them in," he thought. So he hurried back to the house for bread crumbs, which he sprinkled on the snow to make a trail into the barn.
To his dismay, the birds ignored the bread crumbs and continued to flop around helplessly in the snow.
He tried shooing them into the barn by walking around and waving his arms. They scattered in every direction -- except into the warm, lighted barn.
"They find me a strange and terrifying creature," he said to himself, "and I can't seem to think of any way to let them know they can trust me.
"If only I could be a bird myself for a few minutes, perhaps I could lead them to safety."
Just at that moment, the church bells began to ring.
He stood silently for a while, listening to the bells pealing the glad tidings of Christmas.
Then he sank to his knees in the snow.
"Now I do understand," he whispered. "Now I see why You had to do it."

A very Merry and Blessed Christmas to you all!
 
I hope you all had a great Christmas! :)
 
There's a place that I love to run and play
There's a place that I sing new songs of praise

Dancing with my Father God in fields of grace

There's a place that I lose myself within
There's a place that I find myself again

Dancing with my Father God in fields of grace

There's a place where religion finally dies
There's a place that I lose my selfish pride

Dancing with my Father God in fields of grace

I love my Father, my Father loves me
I dance for my Father, my Father sings over me

And Nothing Nothing Nothing can take that away from me
And Nothing Nothing Nothing can take that away from me

Dancin’ with my Father God in fields of grace
Dancin’ with my Father God in fields of grace!

Cornerstone/Leon Patillo

I lay in Zion
For a foundation, a stone
I lay in Zion

A tried stone
A precious cornerstone
A sure foundation

You Are Holy/4HIM

Here before Your throne
I've come to worship You
And worship You alone
Here within my soul
A song begins to rise
Until it overflows
You are holy, You are holy
I will lift my voice to You
And sing it with the angels

You are holy, You are holy
We will offer You our praise
In a mighty chorus
You are holy, You are holy
Wonderful in all Your ways
Holy, You are holy, Lord

When Your love breaks through
And I am swept away
By just a glimpse of You
Then You make me new
'Till I am nothing less
Than what I find in You
You are holy, You are holy
I will lift my voice to You
And sing it with the angels

You are holy, You are holy
We will offer You our praise
In a mighty chorus
You are holy, You are holy
Wonderful in all Your ways
Holy, You are holy, Lord

Unto the One who sits on the throne
And unto the Lamb
Be all blessing and honor
Glory and power and praise

Unto the One who sits on the throne
And unto the Lamb
Be all blessing and honor
Glory and power and praise
All creation sings
And in heaven and earth
We may know

You are holy, You are holy
We will offer You our praise
In a mighty chorus
You are holy, You are holy
Wonderful in all Your ways
Holy, You are holy, Lord
 
Broken/4HIM

I live and breathe
I am alive
Beholding with my eyes humanity
I'm overcome I must confess
By all this hoplessness surrounding me
Confronted with the face of desperation
I will not turn my back and walk away

I mourn, I weep
For the least of these I'm broken
I hurt, I feel
For the homeless until I'm broken
Broken by what breaks the heart of God

I'm throwing caution to the wind
I will not be content with compacency
For God Your heart is my desire
Come fill me with Your fire
Lord move in me
Consume me with a passion and conviction
Until I have Your burden for the lost

I mourn, I weep
For the least of these I'm broken
I hurt, I feel
For the homeless until I'm broken
Broken by what breaks the heart of God

O God Your heart is my desire
Come fill me with Your fire...
