Heirlooms. by Amy Grant


Go ahead and get down the Christmas decorations again. It is time. 

This is difficult song for me. It looks back. I look forward. It paints a history that has brought us to this moment. I feel like I can remake myself every day. 

I guess the subtle message here is that both are true. We have a past, but it doesn't HAVE to control our future. The Muse says that tomorrow is neither a logical extension of the past nor some whole new version of existence. That would leave us dangling and feeling very alone. It is a combination of the two that God uses as He needs to show us his love. 

Enjoy
