Song: It Wasn't His Child
Artist: Trisha Yearwood

HAPPY WEEK BEFORE CHRISTMAS!!

I'm trying not to be too stressed out over the fact that CHRISTMAS is in exactly ONE WEEK from right now!! It's an exciting time, but it's also a stressful time....I'm not ready for Christmas to come and then be gone so quickly....

What a beautiful, beautiful song we have today. Oh my heart! I heard this for the very first time in my life today and I instantly fell in love! The melody, the lyrics, it's all so beautiful!! Every time I listen to this song (I have listened to it twice today) I have gotten misty eyed. It's so tender and sweet and I love a good Joseph song! Ugh. Maybe it's the tenderness of a father's love, but why are country songs so darn sentimental sometimes!? So beautiful. OK. I'll shut up now. Go listen and fall in love, the way I have.


He was her man, she was his wife
And late one winter night
He knelt by her
As she gave birth
But it wasn't his child,
It wasn't his child

Yet still he took him as his own
And as he watched him grow
It brought him joy
He loved that boy
But it wasn't his child
It wasn't his child

But like a father he was strong and kind and good
And I believe he did his best
It wasn't easy for him
But he did all could
His son was different from the rest
It wasn't his child
It wasn't his child

And when the boy became a man
He took his father's hand
And soon the world
Would all know why
It wasn't his child
It wasn't his child

And like his father he was strong and kind and good
And I believe he did his best
It wasn't easy for him
But he did all he could
He grew up with his hands in wood
And he died with his hands in wood
He was God's child,
He was God's child

He was her man
She was his wife
And late one winter night
He knelt by her
As she gave birth
But it wasn't his child
It was God's child


I also just want to add a thought I had. In the last verse & chorus when it says "And when the boy became a man he took his father's hand and soon the world would all know why it wasn't his child....but like a father he was strong and kind and I believe he did his best. It wasn't easy for him but he did all he could....He was God's child" When it says "He was God's child" I think it was talking about Jesus Christ being God the Father's child but I also had the thought that it was talking about Joseph and how Joseph was God's child. Because he was. Just as we all are. I don't know why that thought struck me so profoundly but it did. I think the Spirit really impressed that truth upon my heart today. That we are all God's children. And that because of Jesus Christ, it's possible to live with our Father in Heaven again. And that our Father loves us and wants us to come home. I really believe that with all my heart. So much so that just writing this out is making me want to cry because I believe it so strongly! Gosh, I'm such a sap these days!! I swear I've been on the verge of tears this entire month!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

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 their enth
