#ThursdayThougts with Stacey Weeks!

Good Morning and Welcome!

I hope you're in the Christmas spirit because today's guest has a brand new Christmas romance book out! Stacey has shared treasures with us and been in our spotlight twice but please welcome her back as she shares some thoughts with us.

My White Christmas

The closer we get to Christmas the louder it gets. I can almost hear Bing Crosby. His deep timber rouses images of glistening snow, jingling sleigh bells, and rosy-cheeked children.

And I love it.

But my dreams are more complicated than pretty ideas of snow and sleigh bells. They don’t revolve around Santa slipping down the chimney or leaving out cookies and milk.

They are more than dreams. They are prayers.

I’m praying for a white Christmas.

I’m praying for a Christmas where my loved ones and yours might wake to discover a covering of white sent to erase a lifetime of stain. I’m praying for a Christmas when the silent night was broken by a baby’s cry. When a teen-age mother wondered at the God-child she held in her arms. When this truth is embraced by all who hear it proclaimed.

I praying for a Christmas when I truly appreciate how one holy night fulfilled ancient prophecy that led to a cross. How that innocent baby grew up and died, making it possible for me to be declared white as snow.

My white Christmas.

Don’t misunderstand. I love the way Crosby’s song warms my heart like an afghan on a warm winter night. I love the emotional swell in my chest when the cast swings open the stage doors to reveal the delicate white flakes drifting to the ground. I watch the holiday classic every single year.

But really, deep down, I want more than that. I want more than a cup of warm cocoa in front of a blazing fire.

I want a white Christmas that means something. I want a Christmas that turns my eyes from the what to the who, from what is under the tree, to who died on the tree. To the One whose gift makes my Christmas white. And I bet, deep down, so do you.

If you are looking for meaningful Christmas read that is fun but real, light yet deep, and points you in the direction of Christ, check out Stacey’s new release, Mistletoe Melody.

A former musician, Melody Staff, spends Christmas at a bed and breakfast in the village of Mistletoe Meadows. While everyone sings familiar carols of Christ drawing near, Melody stumbles over misplaced notes. Her recent diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis has scared off her fiancé and thrust her life into a grand pause. Will her heart ever sing again? Quentin Oxford has endured a devastating year. His preteen daughter suffered a stroke, and they’ve grieved his wife’s sudden death, but the Lord coaxes a surprising refrain from Quentin’s heart as God rewrites his and Melody’s score into a love song.
