Ok! Lots going on!

First of all you're invited to come to the "Very Merry Kerrie Christmas Show" on Dec 17th at 7pm CST. Get tickets here. 

Also, there are Christmas bundles available...get signed "Thank You Child" Christmas EPs, T-shirts, jewelry and "Thank You Child" Christmas prints. Included in the bundles are tickets to the show and a meet and greet. Check out the bundles here. 

I'm SUPER EXCITED about the handmade "LOVE MERCY HEART" necklaces available in the bundles. I hope to have them sold separately as well very soon!

Most importantly, let's make sure we are taking the extra time to thank our Savior for His LOVE and MERCY and HEART. And as the year comes to an end, make an extra effort to SHOW His LOVE and MERCY and HEART!!!!!!

This song is my musical Christmas journal entry. (heart behind the music)

"There's a song I love to sing every Christmas time. 

My mother taught it to me and my sister sings in harmony. 

Since I was young it's always been one of my favorite times we share.

The candles burn, the church is full and we sing a song of Jesus' birth.

Precious times. Silent night. Sacred words. Peace on earth." 

The above is part of my arrangement of "Silent Night (Moments Like These)," and describes one of my favorite Christmas moments! It's been a tradition for as long as I can remember for my mother, sister and I to sing that sweet song together as a special at church. My mom always sings a beautiful counter part by Ira B. Wilson. I love the lyrics! 

"Neath the silent stars,

The town is sleeping.

Flocks are safe within the fold,

Secure from danger, want or cold.

Silent, silent night,

Holy, Holy night,

Sleep in peace,

Sleep in heavenly peace.

In peace."

Being one of my favorite Christmas songs, I had to include it on my EP. But, instead of singing the counter part that my mama always sings, I wrote my own personal story into the song. AND THEN (spoiler alert!!!!) I actually was able to have my mom and sister sing with me on the recording!!!!!! SO PRECIOUS TO ME! AND THEN (spoiler alert #2!!!) I included some audio from last year's Christmas morning on the track as well.

Basically, this song is my musical Christmas journal entry. It packs such an emotional punch for me, that it's like listening to Ray Charles' "That Spirit of Christmas," or Mariah Carey's "Miss You Most (At Christmas Time)." I can't get through those songs without a tear! 

I'll sum up with some lyrics from the bridge that I wrote… "There's nothing like family at Christmas time, nothing like the gift we have in Jesus Christ. There's nothing like the memories and hope the future brings, and nothing like the moment when we sing…Silent Night!"

Take time to say, "Thank You Child." (heart behind the music)

My original inspiration for this song came from watching the personal experiences of a few women that I love so very much.

I've never been a mother and certainly never have experienced the journey of desiring a child that never seems to come. It seems more and more that I hear stories of women being denied that desire and their journey can only be described as excrutiating.

Thankfully and wonderfully, there came a happy ending for more than one of my special girls and I wrote a song telling the story of waiting, longing, surrender, and joy. Immediately, so much of it paralleled in my mind the overwhelming emotion experienced by young Mary as she cradeled her new baby, the Savior of the world.

Of course there is so much of Mary that we don't know, so this is my imagination of what she might have sung over him. I thought of her savouring the moment of him being a little one, just wanting to rock hìm and at the same time being aware that while she carried him, he was the one that would bring true life.

The song is a sort of lullaby, but one also filled with praise.

As Christmas approaches, and we think of our Jesus as a baby, I hope we are all moved to say, "Thank You Child."
