Just one more day of relatively unknown renditions of the Christmas carols I love. I start today with my all-time favorite God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen by the Annie Moses Band. If you can be patient through the slow opening, this one will definitely get your foot tapping and put a smile on your face by its spectacular end!

For my final Christmas Song offering I give you the incomparable Keith and Kristyn Getty. This is an amazingly beautiful song that gives us pause once again to consider the Holy miracle of the first Christmas. May you be blessed as you travel this road to a day when much of the world remembers if only for a moment, a manger, a Savior and a star. I pray a blessed Christmas season for you all.

Quiet Sunday Thoughts – Christmas Joy

And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Luke 2:10 ESV

Today we begin the first of four caroling events at various Senior facilities in our area. This is our small part in carrying the same message of joy that the angels brought to shepherds 2,000 years ago. Others will bring it to children, some to prisons and some into the marketplaces of our world. The message never changes though every generation hears it in a different way. Jesus came into the world to find us, heal us, shed His blood for our sins and call us to live our lives for Him. We may not know the answers to why the problems and sorrows of life have happened, but God’s message is that Jesus came in the middle of them all and He came for you and me! Now that is definitely a hope that brings comfort and joy! Have a blessed Sunday everyone and pray for our outreach at 2 pm this afternoon!
