My wife contacted me this morning and told me to go check out this Christmas song by Third Day. I got home at lunch, got my self a bowl of cereal, sat down on my computer and downloaded it from itunes. As I listened to the song, I had to shove the bowl aside, my head fell into my hands and I tried to hold it together. This song is for those of you that will not have the opportunity to be with your little ones over the holidays. You all are in my thoughts and prayers. Here are the lyrics, the song is that much more special. GROUP: Third Day SONG: Merry Christmas There's a little girl trembling on a cold December morn Crying for momma's arms At an orphanage just outside a little China town There the forgotten are But half a world away I hang the stockings by the fire And dream about the day when I can finally call you mine It's Christmas time again but you're not home Your family is here and yet you're somewhere else alone And so tonight I pray that God will come and hold you in his arms And tell you from my heart I wish you Merry Christmas As I hang the tinsel on the tree and watch the twinkling lights I'm warmed by the fire's glow Outside the children tumble in a wonderland of white, Make angels in the snow But half a world away you try your best to fight the tears And hope that heaven's angels come to carry you here It's Christmas time again but you're not home Your family is here and yet you're somewhere else alone And so tonight I pray that God will come and hold you in his arms And tell you from my heart I wish you Merry Christmas Christmas is a time to celebrate the holy child and we celebrate his perfect gift of love He came to earth to give his life and prepare a place for us so we could have a home with him above It's Christmas time again and now you're home Your family is here so you will never be alone So tonight before you go to sleep, I'll hold you in my arms And I'll tell you from my heart, and I'll you from my heart I wish you Merry Christmas

(stalking you all from the Ethiopia board) Sobbed last year when my baby was a world away. Sob this year when he's in my arms. I try to sing along to it, but can't hardly get past the first few words. Have you all also heard the Steven Curtis Chapman song All I Really Want? It's nearly as sob-inducing: Lyrics to New, Original Songs on "All I Really Want for Christmas" by Steven Curtis Chapman (2005 Sparrow Records, EMI CMG) All I really Want Well, I don't know if you remember me or not I'm one of the kids they brought in from the home I was the red-haired boy in an old, green flannel shirt You may not have seen me, I was standing off alone I didn't come and talk to you 'cause that's never worked before And you'll probably never see this letter, anyway But just in case there's something you can do to help me out I'll ask you one more time All I really want for Christmas is someone to tuck me in A shoulder to cry on if I lose, shoulders to ride on if I win There's so much I could ask for, but there's just one thing I need All I really want for Christmas is a family Well, I guess I should go ahead and tell you now If it's really true about that list you have Somehow I always seem to end up in a fight But I'm really trying hard not to be bad But maybe if I had a brother or a dad to wrestle with Maybe they could teach me how to get along And from everything I've heard, it sounds like the greatest gift on earth Would be a mom All I want for Christmas is someone who'll be here To sing me happy birthday for the next 100 years And It's okay if they're not perfect or even if they're a little broken That's alright, 'Cause so am I Well, I guess I should go, it's almost time for bed Maybe next time I write you I'll be at home `Cause all I really want for Christmas is someone to tuck me in Tell me I'll never be alone, someone whose love will never end Of all that I could ask for, well, there's just one thing I need All I really want for Christmas is a family It's after midnight, I really should go to bed now but I'm stuck reading these songs!

Here's a new one that has had me in tears like you wouldn't believe. I heard it for the first time in the car and I had to pull over I was crying so hard. Mark Schultz was adopted as a baby. This is a love song that he wrote for his birthmom. Everything to Me (from the album Broken and Beautiful) I must have felt your tearsWhen they took me from your armsIm sure I must have heard you say goodbyeLonely and afraid had you made a big mistakeCould an ocean even hold the tears you criedBut you had dreams for meYou wanted the best for meAnd you made the only choice you could that night(Chorus)You gave life to meA brand new world to seeLike playing baseball in the yard with dad at nightMom reading Goodnight MoonAnd praying in my roomSo if you worry if your choice was rightYou gave me up but you gave everything to meAnd if I saw you on the streetWould you know that it was meAnd would your eyes be blue or green like mineWould we share a warm embraceWould you know me in your heartOr would you smile and let me walk on byKnowing you had dreams for meYou wanted the best for meAnd I hope that youҒd be proud of who I am(Chorus)You gave life to meA chance to find my dreamsAnd a chance to fall in loveYou should have seen her shining faceOn our wedding dayOh is this the dream you had in mindWhen you gave me upYou gave everything to meAnd when I see you thereWatching from heavens gatesInto your armsIҒm gonna runAnd when you look in my eyesYou can see my whole lifeSee who I wasAnd who Ive become(Chorus)
