they're cold. they're scared. when you can give a gift to them, the joy and the hope that it puts in their hearts that somebody out there loves them and hasn't forgotten them. >> you know what, when the kids pack it up and we know after doing it as a family they really have children their friends, across the globe in their hearts, and really sharing that message is so important. i have to think that your dad had such influence on you and your spirit of giving and loving. how is he doing? >> he is -- is he doing fair. it's been a hard year for him. >> he is staying connected, but he is moving a little slower this year. >> well, aren't we all? you know i think a lot of people can say that, but not slower and harder at all.

>> we thank you for his service and his entire family. what's your message to everyone this rms christmas? >> that god loves sinners, and that god is willing to forgive sin. this christmas god will heal your heart. he will forgive you. he will take the pieces of one's life, and he will put it together, and he will make sense out of it. there's so many people out there that feel that the things that they have done, they'll never be forgiven. god can forgive them. >> no matter what they've done? no matter what i've done this week? how bad i've been? >> many people feel that god cannot forgive them. he will, but you have to come to him through faith in christ. jesus cites is the only one to take our sins. no other person in hifrt has taken other sins except christ, and when he went to the cross and he shed his blood and suffered on that cross for our sins, he was buried for our sinses when god raised him to life, and he will come to each and every heart that is willing to trust him by faith. >> well, what a message to

share. truly, what a message and gift to give so many families and children across the globe. reverend graham, thank you. our best to your dad. a big hug to him this christmas. >> thank you. >> merry christmas to you. >> now steve is over with another friend of ours, scottie mccreary with some cheer. >> in just a few short years from when we first met him on "american idol" he has become one of america's hottest stars, and he is a friend of fox and friends, and we're happy to have him back in christmas. >> where do you spend christmas? >> outside with the band in the cabin. >> i get away from -- we go home in raleigh, north carolina. have a good time. >> what are the trigs at the mccreary house in your head you think, now, that says christmas? >> you know what it's just one of those things where the family gets together. as much as i'm on the road nowadays, i see grandparents and cousins for the first time maybe all we're.

>> is there some food that some loved one prepares that says, okay, that's what we have at christmas at our house? >> you know i'm just a ham guy. as long as grandma and mama makes the ham, then i know it is the holidays. >> all right. now, you cut an album a couple of years ago. it was a christmas album. >> i did. >> it's got to be weird because even though they play it at christmas time, you record it during the summer, the fall. >> yeah, yeah. we did it smack dab in the middle of the summer. it's a little different when you are going in there and it's 90 degrees outside and you are wearing shorts and t-shirt singing "let it snow." it works out. we try and decorate the place all nice and christmassy. it works out pretty good. >> it's hard to sing "i'm dreaming of a white christmas" when you really really -- >> when are you sweating. exactly. definitely. >> all right. what are you going to do for us today? >> we're going to do a little elvis for you right now. a little santa claus is back in town. >> let's get to it from his album. here is santa claus is back in

get that confidence that i could do it. some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. some people had seizures while taking chantix. if you notice any of these stop chantix and call your doctor right away. tell your doctor about any history of mental health problems, which could get worse while taking chantix or history of seizures. don' take chantix if you've had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. if you develop these stop chantix and see your doctor right away as some can be life-threatening. tell your doctor if you have a history of heart or blood vessel problems, or develop new or worse symptoms. get medical help right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack or stroke. decrease alcohol use while taking chantix. use caution when driving or operating machinery. common side effects include nausea trouble sleeping and unusual dreams. i love myself as a non-smoker. ask your doctor if chantix is right for you. --i don't know my credit score. that's really important. i mean - i don't know my credit score. don't you want to buy a house...like, ever? you should probably check out credit karma, it's free. credit

this. here's another chance. here's another chance, and it's not a chance you have to get right perfectly on your own but, rather, i as god am going to come in the form of a little baby, and i am going to take your place to die for you so that you might have life. does that make sense? >> it does and there's an innocence about children too. you can see christmas in their eyes and the wonder and joy and second chance you get to see through your children's eyes. >> clayton, if you could think of any way that god could give us a second chance, that would be acceptable to us, how about coming in the form of a baby? >> sure. >> a baby who doesn't stand in judgment over you and say, if you don't do this i'm going to get you. but, rather baby who just begs to be cuddled and held and i love that. >> what about for those people who say, we have lost vision. we have lost that idea. it's about santa claus and presents. >> well, would say it's okay that it's also about that. those are very human things.

and god came to us in a very human way. a very messy way. what could be more human than a dirty diaper or a stable. and stockings are very human and we celebrate in a human way and god and the angels are up there very happy we are very happy. >> we're very happy to have you part of our family and you have been for years and we love you. >> thank you very much. >> brian used to glaze over when i would talk about the spiritual things. now you're like engaged. we have come a long way. >> you have come a long way. >> thank you. >> nice to have you hear. >> let's get back to some music. remember here? america fell in love with jackie when she was ten years old and a contestant on "america's got talent i." >> she is now 14 and her voice is more beautiful an ever. this is "the christmas song."

alternatives to getting home misflights get cancelled or weather leaves me stranded someplace i just don't want to be. i've had some close calls of almost getting stranded in new york around christmas, when i wanted just to be home. but while i've gotten home later than i wanted i've always made it home for christmas. no gift under the tree is as good as that for me. my thought of the first christmas how joseph and mary had seen their plans to get home get all messed up as well. i'm sure they wanted to be back in nazareth for the birth of their baby but instead they ended up stuck in bethlehem. so i'm pretty sure that weather and airline schedules had nothing to do with that. they didn't realize but they were having an appointment with destiny. because centuries earlier when the prophets predicted the birth of the mess sigha, the city for his arrival wasn't nazareth or even jerusalem. instead, it was the sleepy little victim of beth -- little

village of bethlehem. i'm sure they suffered anxious moments trying to figure out what they would do if they didn't get home. after all, that's where their families were. that's where they would have support and comfort and be surrounded by those who could help make the birth as easy as possible. instead all of their hopes and prayers couldn't sway the will of god who had determined long ago how and where his son would be brought into the world. there are times in our lives when things go exactly according to plan, but when god has a bigger purpose, we can possibly imagine, none of our efforts, no matter how well intentioned or practical. will ever be able to change his course for us. we might be able to get the airlines to change our flight, but only god can control the actual journey and no matter

hour straining or irrational there is a purpose to the path. we all want to be home for christmas, and i hope you and i both make it but being where god wants you to be, that is to be home for christmas. so here's wishing your christmas to be your best ever. >> you consider yourself a singer, reality story, and a redneck? jesse james decker is here to share her family's christmas story with you and will sing for us too. >> you them earlier recreating a christmas song on the harp. the sons of serendip have more when we come back. more surprise for us when we come back.

right away. tell your doctor about any history of mental health problems, which could get worse while taking chantix or history of seizures. don' take chantix if you've had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. if you develop these stop chantix and see your doctor right away as some can be life-threatening. tell your doctor if you have a history of heart or blood vessel problems or if you develop new or worse symptoms. get medical help right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack or stroke. decrease alcohol use while taking chantix. use caution when driving or operating machinery. common side effects include nausea trouble sleeping and unusual dreams. i'm a non-smoker, that feels amazing. ask your doctor if chantix is right for you.
