Blessed Beyond Measure!

Truly, we are!
How thankful I am for my home! We saw several "homeless" folks in Chicago.
I'm thankful for my coat! We saw one who appeared to be wearing her entire wardrobe just to keep warm.
I'm thankful for laundry! It was quite obvious that some folks haven't the resources to wash their clothes.
I'm thankful that we have family who also happen to be friends.
I'm thankful for our jobs. Not everyone has one!
I'm thankful for our quiet (for the most part) rural lifestyle.
I'm thankful for more than enough to eat. Millions around the world are hungry!
I'm thankful for all we have, but most of all ---
I am thankful for God's gift, Jesus Christ....

Mary, did you know
That your baby boy
Would someday walk on water?
Mary did you know
That your baby boy
Will save our sons and daughters?
Did you know
That your baby boy
Has come to make you new?
This child that you've delivered
Will soon deliver you.


Mary did you know
That your baby boy
Will give sight to a blind man?
Mary did you know
That your baby boy
Will calm the storm with his hand?
Did you know that your baby boy
Has walked where angels trod?
When you kiss your little baby
You've kissed the face of God.
The blind will see
The deaf will hear
The dead will live again
The lame will leap
The dumb will speak
The praises of the Lamb

Mary did you know
That your baby boy
Is Lord of all creation?
Mary did you know
That your baby boy
Will one day rule the nations?
Did you know
That your baby boy
Is heaven's perfect Lamb?
This sleeping child you're holding

Is the Great I Am
