Day 8

If there is anything that the Christmas Season evokes is the spirit of giving. Don't get me wrong, giving should be an everyday thing but Christmas makes it even more special as you get to put a smile on someone's face and brighten up their holiday. I remember the first time I watched The Christmas Shoes Movie, I teared through the whole of it and the song is equally beautiful. It makes it to my favorites list.

The Christmas Shoes By New Song 


It was almost Christmas time
There I stood in another line
Tryin' to buy that last gift or two
Not really in the Christmas mood

Standing right in front of me was
A little boy waiting anxiously
Pacing 'round like little boys do
And in his hands he held a pair of shoes

And his clothes were worn and old
He was dirty from head to toe
And when it came his time to pay
I couldn't believe what I heard him say

Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my mama, please
It's Christmas eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, daddy says there's not much time
You see she's been sick for quite a while

And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful, if mama meets Jesus tonight
He counted pennies for what seemed like years
Then the cashier said, "Son, there's not enough here"

He searched his pockets frantically
Then he turned and he looked at me
He said, "Mama made Christmas good at our house
Though most years she just did without

Tell me sir, what am I going to do
Somehow I've got to buy her these Christmas shoes"
So I laid the money down, I just had to help him out
And I'll never forget the look on his face when he said

"Mama's gonna look so great"
Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my mama, please
It's Christmas eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, daddy says there's not much time

You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful, if mama meets Jesus tonight
I knew I'd caught a glimpse of heaven's love

As he thanked me and ran out
I knew that God had sent that little boy
To remind me what Christmas is all about
Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my mama, please

It's Christmas eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, daddy says there's not much time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile

And I want her to look beautiful, if mama meets Jesus tonight
I want her to look beautiful
If mama meets Jesus tonight
