TSMSS - A Christmas Duet

Christmas is a time of joy. Yet, depending on one's circumstances, it isn't always a time of happiness. This season has been a bit of a frustrating struggle for me. Dealing with my mom's death. My broken foot, which has immobilized me much more than I would like and has been a bit painful at times, both from the break and from compensating with the other leg. I could list other things that are relatively insignificant by themselves, but when added all together, they've been a bit overwhelming.

The other day I heard this song, and while I remember hearing it last year and thinking it was pretty, it really ministered to me this year. Matthew West and Mandisa team up in a great duet. The final verse and the chorus remind me that the very message of Christmas is that God gives peace in the midst of difficult circumstances! There wasn't much choice on the video available, and while it's okay, I suggest just closing your eyes and listening.

I think of Mary and the virgin birth
And I’m amazed at how much God thinks we’re worth
That He would send His only Son to die
And sometimes Christmas makes me cry

Tears of thankfulness, tears of hope
I cry tears of joy at Christmas cause I know
There is peace on earth for every heart to find
And sometimes Christmas makes me cry
