The Birth of Christ

It’s a fast moving life and no one stops to look
To see in everything, how much Christ partook.
The love for His children, shown through His birth
To live amongst sinners and become lowly on the earth.
Into a hopeless generation our heavenly king was born
So we may enter heaven’s gate, so we could be reborn.
A strong love for His people, even when they turn away
A desire to bring back those who have gone astray.
So on the twenty-fifth of December, we celebrate His life
We give thanks to Him who has taken away our strife.
This joy that surrounds us should be for His glory
As we come together and celebrate His story.
Sweet Jesus was born just so I could live
Hung upon a cross, so His kingdom He could give.
Hallelujah! Praise the Lord, for a love so divine
and for allowing His love, through others to shine.
Through His grace He forgives and calls us by name
To tell of His great love, to wipe away our shame.
Find out why these days we spend with family
What the true meaning of Christmas means to thee.
There’s a deeper meaning than gifts from the store
“Maybe, just maybe Christmas means a little bit more.”
Be blessed for what you have so generously received
and come to really questions what’s always been believed.
Love the Lord through your life and return what He gave
Love for you, His child, praise God, for you He was born to save.

Taylor Swift Surprises WWII Vet’s Family For Christmas!

It’s hard to imagine surviving WWII and still being able to share those stories first hand with family. That’s not all WWII Vet Cyrus Porter loves, he also is known for his love of Taylor Swift‘s music! He’s seen the superstar in concert twice during the 1989 tour and has dreams of seeing her again on the next tour! He’s even grown closer to his children and grandchildren over the special bond!

Porter didn’t have to wait long for another concert, this time one that came straight into his living room! That’s right, Swift took time December 26th to surprise Porter and his family by flying out to see them! Swift’s dad posted a video of the big surprise!

Just flew to Missouri to visit Cyrus Porter, 96 year old WW II veteran, and huge Taylor fan. What a great man. What a great day!!!!!!

 WATCH TAYLOR SWIFT PERFORM “SHAKE IT OFF” FOR WWII VET’S FAMILY

Porter has over 50 grandkids and great grandkids! Talk about one epic gathering!!! Family member Caroline Fowler shared with E! News:

My Popo was ecstatic! He was grinning from ear to ear and even had tears in his eyes. The first thing he said to her was ‘How did you get here?’ He loved every moment. He told her how he was proud of his family, his country and Taylor Swift!

Just in case you weren’t already emotional, here’s a post that includes Swift holding a baby!! Feelz O’Clock.

Porter was diagnosed with cancer this year but is staying strong to see Swift again in concert. Prayers are with him and his family. Thank you for your service and for living life to the fullest.

Taylor Swift’s Love Actually Christmas!

Most of us know that Taylor Swift‘s favorite movie is Love Actually. Her best friend, Abigail Anderson shared a photo of the two of them celebrating Christmas together with what we think is a spin on a quote from the movie: “Love actually is all around.”

 

Whatever the inspiration for the caption, it’s got us feeling loved and festive! So glad Swift was able to celebrate Christmas with friends and family! Anderson also posted a photo with Swift’s Mom’s dog, Kitty.

 

Model, Lily Aldridge and her family also spent Christmas Eve with Swift.

 

For a little throwback, Swift’s mom is still using the same decorations as years ago. Just compare the tree to this one in 2009!

 

Swift’s younger brother Austin posted a photo of a signed album from Spector! He was pretty stoked about it! He also shared a photo of the tree!

 

Swift has always been the best gift giver!! Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a great end to 2016!! Here’s to great things in 2017 and hopefully new music from Swift!!
