My Daughter's Post Busted Me

      My daughter Ashley, who has suffered much this year with cancer, shared the following on Facebook, and it busted me. Please catch the song at the end, and scroll down in the video to SHOW MORE to see the lyrics:
     "A few nights ago Steve and I were reflecting on the Christmas story and he pointed out that it really is a story of hardship. A pregnancy that likely caused scandal for both Mary and Joseph, A journey at an inconvenient time, difficult accommodations, then fleeing for their lives to a foreign land.
     Why is it then that much of our culture's focus at Christmas time is creating rosy, happy feelings? This year, more than ever, it's hard for many of us to create those rosy feelings while separated from loved ones.
     Right now globally there are millions of refugees displaced from their homes. All is not calm and all is not bright, but the story of hardship that we remember this holiday is ultimately a story of God putting on skin, being born of a woman, and living among us with all the mess and pain that we experience. That is comforting to me."
     Hear the song "Immigrant King" here.
