Take a minute......

As I was driving the other day, between running errands, christmas shopping, and keeping the kids entertained I turned the radio to Air1 (a christian music station) and I heard this song.  I have been looking for it since and finally found it.  It made me really stop and think about what really matters in my life and if, especially at this time of year, I stop to reflect on my Savior enough.  Nate and I have been trying a little more each year at Christmastime to teach our children to focus Christmas on Christ.  The real reason we celebrate Christmas isn't for the material gifts but for the gift that our Savior gave to us, His life!  This gift is the most important of all, and all too often we get caught up in life and forget that it is.  So as I was listening to the words of this song I couldn't help but be touched, as tears rolled down my cheeks and my kids asking me if I was okay and wondering what was going on with Mom, I realized the message that this artist was trying to get across.  So please if you have a minute listen (and I mean really listen to the lyrics) to the song on our playlist titled, "While You Were Sleeping."  And as we celebrate Christmas this year, look around and be thankful for what you have i.e. family, friends, gospel, etc. and let there be "room" in your life for the One whose life we celebrate!!
