Written by David Foster, Linda Thompson-Jenner and Amy Grant, "Grown Up Christmas List" captures our ear and our heart at the same time. I know Amy Grant's version the best.
Her Christmas albums are some of my favorites. This song captures the hope of Christmas.
And 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."
A grown-up Christmas list focuses on what is important, not stuff. This world is full of brokenness, but the Light of the World came so we might know the peace, truth, light, and life that only he can bring. He mends lives that are torn apart.
"I am writing to all of you in Rome who are loved by God and are called to be his own holy people. May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace." -Romans 1:7
Grace and peace are perfect gifts.
Today, I am grateful for a grown-up Christmas list.
