Don't Compare & Rest in Jesus

I shared this on a friend's FB page when she shared struggles with being a good mommy to her two young children. I decided to share it here also so I could find it again and eat my own words when I need to remember...

"I feel your pain. Don't beat yourself up. I've had times of comparing myself to others who have more children and realized that I need to look at what I'm dealing with and try to do the best with what God has given me. Each of us have different challenges and if one of us tried to step into someone else's life we would realize that even someone who seems like they have less on one level has more to deal with on another. Take time to be with God and hear what He wants from you each day. Rest in Him... I need that advice probably more than you. Pray for me and I'll pray for you...we will make it by the grace of God."

It's About the Cross

It's About the Cross is a beautiful song that shares the message of Christmas.

Verse 1

It's not just about the manger
Where the baby lay
It's not all about the angels
Who sang for him that day

It's not just about the shepherds
Or the bright and shining star
It's not all about the wisemen
Who travelled from afar

Chorus:
It's about the cross
It's about my sin
It's about how Jesus came to be born once
So that we could be born again

It's about the stone
That was rolled away
So that you and I could have real life someday

It's about the cross
It's about the cross

Verse 2:

It's not just about the presents
Underneath the tree
It's not all about the feeling
That the season brings to me

It's not just about coming home
To be with those you love
It's not all about the beauty
In the snow I'm dreaming of

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:

The beginning of the story is wonderful and great
But it's the ending that can save you and that's why we celebrate

It's about the cross
It's about my sin
It's about how Jesus came to be born once
So that we could be born again

It's about God's love
Nailed to a tree
It's about every drop of blood that flowed from Him when it should have been me

It's about the stone
That was rolled away
So that you and I could have real life someday
So that you and I could have real life someday

It's about the cross
It's about the cross
