The Christmas Shoes

 By: Newsong

 

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



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

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 just

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 watched that movie this afternoon and cried my eyes out...if you haven't seen it i urge you to rent it.....Rob Lowe is in it along with Brad Paisleys wife,can't think of her name for nothing right now...but I want to buy that movie i hope it's easy to find...That song has always made me cry so i knew the movie would as well.

 

I rented a few movies to watch while i am on vacation

Haven't watched the other four yet...wouldn't ya know on vacation and i got up at the crack of dawn, dunno why i couldn't sleep in...so i got up and have done absolutely nothing today....besides read journals and watch that movie.....gonna go clean house in a little bit.

 

We went to my best friends sat. night for the UFC fight...we had a good time...we had bbq pork sandwiches, ribs and wings... I didn't have much as I am trying to diet...it's hard during the holidays!

 

We had Thanksgiving dinner at my MIL's yesterday as well as my nieces 8th birthday party....we had a great time.  My niece got dance mania for a gift...and she and my SIL were doing that and cracking me up....then they decided to do karaoke to my nieces Hannah Montana cd...it was cherished memories for sure, I would have given anything to have taken my camcorder and had that all on video it was hilarious... I love my SIL she is so fun and crazy!
