I had big plans for this years Christmas. My granddaughter and I love baking together and were going to bake lots of cookies to share with the neighbors. I planned to attend many Christmas programs given by the local churches. Sadly no cookies were baked and I only attended two Christmas events.
Sitting on my couch surrounded by Christmas decorations some complete, some in progress I realized once again that plans don’t always work out.
Christmas Day arrived and the frustration melted away. All the failed plans were swept aside as we celebrated the birth of our Saviour, the one whose plans are always perfect.
I love this song performed by Michael W Smith. Lyrics found here
My Jesus, My Saviour,
Lord there is no one like you,
All of my days, I want to praise
The wonders of Your mighty love.
My comfort, my shelter,
Tower of refuge and strength
Let every breath, all that I am
Never cease to worship You.
Chorus:
Shout to the Lord, all the earth let us sing,
Power and majesty, praise to the King!
Mountains bow down and the seas will roar,
At the sound of your name!
I sing for joy at the work of your hands,
Forever I’ll love you, forever I’ll stand
Nothing compares to the promise I have in You.
Repeat verse
My Jesus, my Saviour,
Lord, there is none like You
All of my days, I want to praise,
The wonders of your mighty love
My comfort, my shelter,
Tower of refuge and strength
Let every breath, all that I am
Never cease to worship You

Wonderful blog. I liked the phrase, “all my plans were swept away.” Loved the song, too.

Ludyja there was so much I wanted to say as I wrote the blog, then the song came to my heart and you are right, it says it all.

One of my very favorite songs. I sang along with it as I read it. Really says it all, doesn’t it? So many times I really want to SHOUT to the Lord about His blessings. Thank you for the reminder.
