Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin Mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
The lyrics of this song never seemed so powerful
until I heard them this year while cuddling
little baby Tanner in my arms.
I just can't imagine what it would have been like
for Mary to be holding sweet baby Jesus
in her arms on that star lit night,
knowing that he indeed was the perfect lamb,
the Savior of the World
whom would redeem all mankind from their sins.
While there is no other comparison...
other children are also pure and innocent -
having unlimited potential that would be
almost as amazing if we could only understand.
It's just simply our job to love and nurture them -
which is the best part of being a Mom!
