Last week, there was an offering of 150 copies of this wonderful new CD by Michael W. Smith for review. Luckily, I was up early, early and made te cut! Our CD was mailed on Wednesday, and we recvd it Friday.
Unfortunately, I don't have a CD player in the car, and since we pick up our mail quite a ways from the house and were on the way to town, Kati and I had to be patient until we got all our errands done (yes! I DROVE! I DROVE!).
We finally got home and popped the CD in. Oh. My. Word. It's amazing! Now, I'e always been a huge MWS fan. I'm old enough to remember when he first came out. I can honestly say I have ever. single. CD. he's ever put out. And still listen to them! And, he's one of the few that the kids and I agree on.
So, that tells you how timeless is music is. This album has some beautiful orchestral arrangements, interwoven with beautiful but simple lyrics.
Pure Smitty.
The entire CD opens with a simple melody that sounds like something from Toyland or a magical fairy kingdom. Sweet, simple. And it bursts forth from there. He has a way of saying things in such a simple, but worshipful message ...
And Mandisa! A Christmas Day is a wonderful duet with MWS and Mandisa. It just makes me want to, well, melt. Then dance around and celebrate!
I love it.
Because of my situation, we treasure each day together. The holidays can be the hardest. especially for me, a mom, who really has to accept that each one may just be the last I have with my family. So, creating memories is hugely important to me.
Faith and music are two important ingredients in our lives. What a blessing to be able to have one more piece of beauty and hope this holiday.
So, hear some samples from the album.
Then, click here to get your own copy.
Make some memories.
