Cindy Palin Music & WordsSongwriting at Christmas Time, InspirationBiblical Content
What is the backstory to my new Christmas song?
Why did I entitle it My Christmas Waltz?
Where does our indifference towards one another come from and how does Christmas address it?
Just as Jesus came low to a manger to be near, how do we continue to press into God's presence today?
How many parallels can you find in the song that pertain to God's redemption plan?
Just a few questions you will have answered by tuning into this episode of Cindy Palin Music & W...2021-12-1410 minCindy Palin Music & WordsSongwriting at Christmas Time, Writing RealityGod is Near from Christmas Hope Album

Where do we look for inner change that is long-lasting, even eternal?
"Changed Forever" visits several important characters in the Christmas Story,
and how God's loving presence approaches them, and how they respond.
There is a suggested writing exercise included in this episode.
"Changed Forever" on the album "Christmas Hope."

This story is one of my all time favourites and was inspired by such a strange occurrence. I noticed a young lady boarding a school bus in the middle of winter, and she was wearing flip flops. My imagination ran away with itself and soon I was picturing the transitions of back to school fashion to mid-winter freezing. You must remember winter in Canada sports a great deal of below freezing temperatures. Have a listen and you'll get the idea.

We can choose the words we want to soothe our children with, and taking words right from the book of Jeremiah is what I did. Listen to the story first, and then sing along. The book is available for purchase on my website if you wish to turn pages along with the podcast. Just visit my shop at www.newcindypalin.com. The song is also available there.

"The Kindness Seed" was inspired by our grandchildren and some of the difficulties they have already encountered at pre-school, kindergarten, and school. This story is not an exhaustive lesson on kindness, but an attempt to plant a seed.
