Yesterday while I was driving around I was listening to Christmas music, of course. Amy Grant’s “My Grown up Christmas list” came on. I’ve heard this song a hundred times, I’m sure, but this time the lyrics grabbed my attention and I started thinking about what would be on my grown up Christmas list.
Do you remember me
I sat upon your knee
I wrote to you
With childhood fantasies
Well, I'm all grown up now
And still need help somehow
I'm not a child
But my heart still can dream
So here's my lifelong wish
My grown up Christmas list
Not for myself
But for a world in need
No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts
And everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end
This is my grown up Christmas list…
Yes, there is a lot of bad that happens in this world, and life can be so extremely unfair. (I remember that every time I see a girl with long gorgeous hair.) However, I wouldn’t wish all the trials away. They are what make us stronger, wiser, and kinder. They bring people together and help us to remember all the blessings we do have in this life. These were just some thought that I came to mind while I was driving.
There are a few things that I would put my grown up Christmas list:
- A cure for cancer
- Terrorism would go away
- Child abuse would be nonexistent
- Everyone would have the Knowledge and Truth
What would be on your grown up Christmas list?
