Sometimes things come full circle.
I love it when that happens!!
Yesterday I posted about choosing joy. Then my heart led me to what that specifically means at Christmas. (Thanks to singing the Messiah all through high school, I've got this Scripture down pat! So it was easy for my heart to wander in this direction...)
Full circle.
That "joy" we can choose everyday...
It comes from Jesus.
When He came to earth.
For us.
With a great plan.
God in flesh.
To cover our sin.
That joy we choose everyday...it came from the baby who gave our salvation a name.
Jesus.
THIS is Christmas.
Y'all know I love to make sure Christmas is more about Jesus than anything else. And I love music. So without further ado...let's celebrate the JOY of CHRIST with a song that centers on HIM!

I can't get enough of this song!!!! I discovered it last year, and my sister and I had frequent dance parties crazy dancing around the room and belting it out. Truth. I once was so happy (and JOYFUL ;)) mid-dance party that I straight-up cried. Yep. That's me.
I love how happy it is and I love even more how it paints a beautiful picture of the Christmas story!
"Our salvation has a name!"
Give it a listen. I promise you won't be disappointed! I hope it sparks some dance parties around your house too. :)
I love your inspiration and great outlook on life...coming to your blog everyday makes me smile!!!
