"My Grownup Christmas List"

Do you remember Me

I sat upon your knee

I wrote to you with childhood fantasies

Well, I'm all grown up now

And still need help somehow

I'm not a child

But my heart still believes

As children we believed

The grandest sight to see

Was something lovely

Wrapped beneath our tree

Well heaven only knows

That packages and bows

Can never heal

A hurting human soul

What is this illusion called
 The innocence of youth

Maybe only in our belief

Can we ever find the truth

So here's my lifelong wish

My grown up Christmas list

Not for myself

But for a world in need

No more lives torn apart

That wars would never start

And time would heal all hearts

And everyone would have a friend

And right would always win

And love would never end.

This is my grown up Christmas list

This is my only life long wish

Lyrics by David Foster
                 Linda Thompson

This year while rushing from one place to another trying to fit everything in the little time there is, 

let's slow down and breathe...

 slow down and share a smile... 

slow down and let someone in front of you...

slow down and give someone the gift of your time...

slow down and drop a coin or two in the red kettles.

Enjoy this season of Advent!
