It's the holidays folks, and I am taking a planned and needed hiatus from my blog and probably all social media as a whole for the next 2 weeks. I have some special things planned for the next coming year so I'm taking some time to get my mind right- relax, relate and release.
In the meantime, I will be spending time with my family, eating more than I need to and praising God for the many blessings he has given me this past year. I'm not gonna lie, it has been tough. With the loss of my grandmother, financial burdens and the stress that comes with marriage and children, I have wondered what exactly does it take to get hospitalized for exhaustion, cause I think I'm there. But, with all the ups and downs, there has been the same constants in my life and they have been my family and friends who love me and the God who has never left me.
So while I know that the politically correct thing to say would be "Happy Holidays", I'm going to say with a full fledged heart, Merry Christmas because Jesus is my all and he is definitely the "reason for the season."
I want to leave you with my new favorite Christmas song by CeeLo Green and it's called "Mary Did You Know". I didn't find out until I was researching the lyrics that it is a remake (several times over), but because his version is the first I heard, it is my favorite. And it is the truth.
The lyrics to this song are so powerful.
"Mary Did You Know"
Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy would one day walk on water?
Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy would save our sons and daughters?
Did you know
that your Baby Boy has come to make you new?
This Child that you 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 kissed the face of God?
Mary did you know.. Ooo Ooo Ooo
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 would one day rule the nations?
Did you know
that your Baby Boy is heaven's perfect Lamb?
The sleeping Child you're holding is the Great, I Am.
that your Baby Boy would one day walk on water?
Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy would save our sons and daughters?
Did you know
that your Baby Boy has come to make you new?
This Child that you 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 kissed the face of God?
Mary did you know.. Ooo Ooo Ooo
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 would one day rule the nations?
Did you know
that your Baby Boy is heaven's perfect Lamb?
The sleeping Child you're holding is the Great, I Am.
With that said, I wish you many blessings, a Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and as always,
Love, Peace and Soul Deep Beauty,
Rhonda
