Little Drummer Boy

 
 
   I am a sucker for Christmas music; it is one of my favorite things about this time of year. Of course there is one song that I can honestly say is my favorite, but I always forget about it until I hear it at Christmas time. Like every Christmas song it has been covered by a ton of talented people and re-made into a thousand different styles but the meaning behind it stays the same.

   A little boy hears about a King who has been born and everyone is bringing this baby gifts. The boy follows, not wanting to miss out, but when he gets there he realizes what everyone else has for the King, beautiful, elaborate, expensive gifts. This boy has nothing worthy of a King, even a baby one. But he realizes He came all this way to honor him, so he does the only thing he knows how to do. He plays his drum.

   Every Christmas I hear the little drummer boy, and I realize how true this song is. Everyone is bringing their best before the Lord to honor Him, and I show up with no gift, not worthy of even being there. So what do I do when it is my turn to give my gift to the King? Well considering I have zero musical talent, I don’t play a drum. I think I just kneel before Him holding out my hands offering the only thing I have, myself. And although it is not an elaborate gift, or even a catchy drum beat, I like to think He smiles at me.
 

If you haven't listen to it in a while, I attched the Glee Version below. It is one of my favorites.
