Dreaming of a Blessed Christmas

I’m dreaming of a blessed Christmas

Just like so many I have known.

Where my full heart ponders

And thinks and wonders

About the things my God has done.

I’m dreaming of a blessed Christmas

With every Christmas card I write.

I pray for each loved one

And thank God’s dear Son

For bringing each into my life.

I’m dreaming of a blessed Christmas

As old sweet carols fill the air

With each lifted voice

My soul will rejoiceIn the truth that they all share.

I’m dreaming of a blessed Christmas

As I see each lighted tree

The lights remind us

That Christ will guide us

Through the year that is to be.

As we begin this Advent season, I do dream of and thank God for the blessings that surround us because of the gift of God’s Son, Jesus. I realize that I have taken liberties with a loved Christmas song, but I hope you will forgive me and join me in remembering the goodness of God.

“And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds. But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart. And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them” (Luke 2:18 – 20, KJV).
