labor of love



i have a "favorite" song every christmas. it is always different.

this album (Andrew Peterson::Behold the Lamb of God) was my favorite last year - the whole thing. it's not your "typical" christmas album. there aren't any of your traditional christmas songs on it. but it IS the story of Jesus. and it's GREAT!

well, i KNOW i heard this song last year, but THIS year i can't stop listening to it. it's on repeat all.the.time.

her voice is beautiful. and the words?? well, i'm too tired at the moment to go into it, but i can say that the anticipation of celebrating our Savior's birth is hitting me in a whole new way this year. it's all new to me through my 4 year old son's eyes as he watches a family...HIS family... "do" Christmas for the first time in his life AND as my heart recognizes my need for a Savior in a deeper way than ever before.

labor of love.

i pray it blessed your heart and brings you to His feet.

I love this album and that song in particular. I just started reading the advent devotional that corresponds to the album - good stuff.
