On the Second Day of Christmas....

Song: Breath of Heaven
Artist: Amy Grant

Mary was "highly favoured of the Lord" (Luke 1:28) and "blessed among women" (Luke 1:42). Mary was chosen to be the mother of the Savior of all mankind. When I think of Mary, I think of someone who was humble, quiet and good. I think of someone who was thoughtful, gentle and brave. We'll continue to ponder the character of Mary in another post later. For today, refer to Luke 1:26-56.

I always think of this song when I think about the mother of Jesus Christ. I can't imagine how Mary must have felt when she first received the incredible news that she had been hand-chosen by the Lord to be the mother of the Savior. I'm sure she felt inadequate at times. This song captures those feelings of self-doubt and inadequacy so beautifully. But Mary was a woman of great faith and trust in the Lord her God as she answered her call by replying: Behold, the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. I love what Mary had to say about her responsibility as the mother to the Savior and as she expressed her incredibly unwavering faith in God when she was speaking with her cousin Elisabeth specifically: My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. For he that is might hath done to me great things; and holy is his name. And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation. (see Luke 1:39-55).

I have traveled many moonless nights. Cold and weary with a babe inside.

And I wonder what I've done?

Holy Father, you have come. And chosen me now, to carry your son.

I am waiting, in a silent prayer.

I am frightened, by the load I bear.

In a world as cold as stone. Must I walk this path alone? Be with me now.

Do you wonder, as you watch my face; if a wiser one should have had my place?

But I offer all I am. For the mercy of your plan. Help me be strong.




I have traveled many moonless nights
Cold and weary with a babe inside
And I wonder what I've done
Holy Father you have come
And chosen me now
To carry your son

I am waiting in a silent prayer
I am frightened by the load I bear
In a world as cold as stone
Must I walk this path alone
Be with me now
Be with me now

Breath of heaven
Hold me together
Be forever near me
Breath of heaven
Breath of heaven
Lighten my darkness
Pour over me your holiness
For you are holy
Breath of heaven

Do you wonder as you watch my face
If a wiser one should have had my place
But I offer all I am
For the mercy of your plan
Help me be strong
Help me be
Help me

Breath of heaven
Hold me together
Be forever near me
Breath of heaven
Breath of heaven
Lighten my darkness
Pour over me your holiness
For you are holy
Breath of heaven

 Breath of heaven
Hold me together
Be forever near me
Breath of heaven
Breath of heaven
Lighten my darkness
Pour over me your holiness
For you are holy
Breath of heaven

Morticia and Gomez Addams Love Song: "Rot Next to You"

Song: Morticia and Gomez Addams Love Song: "Rot Next to You" Artist: The Hound + The Fox Wow this is so good! 🥀 So, funny enough, I just watched the 1990's Addams Family film for the first time eva a couple days ago and then  this video pops up on my youtube feed (if this isn't proof that the government is stalking us through technology IDK what is! 😱). Anyway, even though I didn't care for the movie all that much, I thought this song captured Morticia and Gomez perfectly! And it's actually a really, beautiful love song for Halloween time! I especially like the bridge (and I'm pretty sure it's a direct quote from the movie because when I heard them singing it I was like "That sounds familiar...." 🤔). We all need somebody to rot next to at the end.... 😂 Sorry about the dark humor 😈🖤🥀 I see you like  A night with a full moon  I feel you like a flame  You cast a spell on me  I like how you make me weak  I play you like a game  I hope w...

Siren Call

Song: Siren Call Artist: Hanson This song is off of Hanson's Fan Club EP: Loud (2016). I have been slightly obsessed with this haunting song as of late. This song is about dealing with depression ( Zac Hanson even said so ! Be forewarned, explicit language is used in this video. I'm so sorry). Once I heard Zac explain the meaning and message behind this song it made so much sense to me! I have always loved it and I've always known it had a powerful message but I could never quite figure out what it was. This song is about struggling. Being weighed-down by the burdens and challenges life brings to each and every one of us. When we stop and allow ourselves to "give in" to the pain and sadness that comes with the stress of life, that's when we begin to slip and fall into a deep depression. That's when our "Siren's Call" us. And pull us down. No straighter path than to struggle .... This is perfect. And it's true. Life is a constan...

Song: Sally's Song and Corpse Bride Medley Artist: From Youtube I found this really creepy, cool medley/cover on youtube. I really like it! Major  Halloween  vibes from two  Halloween  inspired movies. The  Corpse Bride  lyrics were written by the person who posted/sang this song. She does a great job! Thanks for sharing  Trickywi ! I sense there's something in the wind That feels like tragedy's at hand And though I'd like to stand by him Can't shake this feeling that I have The worst is just around the bend And does he notice my feelings for him? And will he see how much he means to me? I think it's not to be Under a tree at quarter three, I had some hope in me But life was taken from me, but I did not feel peace I made a vow within my gown that love will come to me But there he is and suddenly I had been found I adore him What will become of my dear friend Where will his actions lead us then? Although I'd like to join the crowd In thei...
