I started listening to Christmas music on Thanksgiving morning while I prepared food for my family. I heard this very thought provoking song by Casting Crowns and wanted to share it with you - Enjoy!
"While You Were Sleeping"
Oh little town of Bethlehem
Looks like another silent night
Above your deep and dreamless sleep
A giant star lights up the sky
And while you're lying in the dark
There shines an everlasting light
For the King has left His throne
And is sleeping in a manger tonight
Oh Bethlehem, what you have missed while you were sleeping
For God became a man
And stepped into your world today
Oh Bethlehem, you will go down in history
As a city with no room for its King
While you were sleeping
While you were sleeping
Oh little town of Jerusalem
Looks like another silent night
The Father gave His only Son
The Way, the Truth, the Life had come
But there was no room for Him in the world He came to save
Jerusalem, what you have missed while you were sleeping
The Savior of the world is dying on your cross today
Jerusalem, you will go down in history
As a city with no room for its King
While you were sleeping
While you were sleeping
United States of America
Looks like another silent night
As we're sung to sleep by philosophies
That save the trees and kill the children
And while we're lying in the dark
There's a shout heard 'cross the eastern sky
For the Bridegroom has returned
And has carried His bride away in the night
America, what will we miss while we are sleeping
Will Jesus come again
And leave us slumbering where we lay
America, will we go down in history
As a nation with no room for its King
Will we be sleeping
Will we be sleeping
United States of America
Looks like another silent night....

A song with a very strong and meaningful message. Sure hope I'm not sleeping when Jesus comes again.
I have missed your posting.
Hi Beginner,
I have so little time to post lately and have thought off and on about just letting this blog go - but I really do enjoy it - and hope to be able to post more soon. My quarter ends December 15 - I will probably be posting more often then. I have SO much to blog about -
Don't give up on me - I will be back!
Miss hearing from you too and hope that you are well.
Talk to you soon,
Kymber
Hi sister Kymber. What is sad is some realized Who Jesus was and accepted Him as the Savior, then, now are asleep. I hope you are doing well and that may you have a wonderful holiday season! It's nice to hear from you. God bless you and may He continue to guide you and protect you.
