I is for Infant...

but not just any infant. This time every year I get really emotional. Our church choir performed on Sunday and I choked up several times just thinking about the true meaning of Christmas and I wanted to write a poem or something about what I was feeling on here. Somebody else managed to do it for me (thanks matthew!) Here's a song by Matthew West and Mandisa (yes, she did it again). The first part is just them talking but enjoyable but then comes the song (skip to about 2:30):

Chrismas Makes Me Cry

I think of loved ones who’ve passed away

And I pray their resting in a better place

I think of memories of years gone by

And sometimes Christmas makes me cry

~

I think of soldiers across the sea

And Sometimes I wonder why its them instead of me

For my freedom they give their lives

And sometimes Christmas makes me cry

~

Tears of thankfulness, tears of hope

I cry tears of joy at Christmas cause I know

There is peace on earth for every heart to find

And sometimes Christmas makes me cry

~

I think of families, I think of home

And say a prayer for those who spend this time alone

Cause love can reach out into a silent night

And that’s why Christmas makes me cry

~

Tears of thankfulness, tears of hope

I cry tears of joy at Christmas cause I know

There is peace on earth for every heart to find

And sometimes Christmas makes me cry

~

I think of Mary and the virgin birth

And I’m amazed at how much God thinks we’re worth

That He would send His only Son to die

And sometimes Christmas makes me cry

~

Tears of thankfulness, tears of hope

I cry tears of joy at Christmas cause I know

There is peace on earth for every heart to find

And sometimes Christmas makes me cry
