Devotional 12-24-20

 Ah, Christmas Eve!   We’ve hurried & planned. We’ve decorated & baked.  We’ve whispered about gifts which are now in their lovely wrappings beneath the shining Christmas tree.  The day we’ve imagined & looked forward to has arrived.     This year it’s different.  No parties or company from far away. Perhaps then next year gatherings will be all the sweeter.   But all anticipation & celebration this year & every other year has a sound track running under it.  Christmas is never the same without the carols.  Quickly, let’s sing!


Good Christian friends, rejoice,   Rejoice! Emanuel shall come, O   O come, all ye faithful, joyful,   Joy to the world!  the world in solemn stillness lay     lay down his sweet head. The stars in the sky looked down where he lay,   how still we see thee lie, above thy deep & dreamless sleep the silent     Silent night, Holy night, wondrous star lend thy light.  With the angels let us sing Alleluia to our King.  Christ the Savior is born, Christ the Savior is born!

May your Christmas of 2020 be blessed, calm & bright.
