Christmas Story

Since I didn't get to write last night, I'm going to share about yesterday.  I got home pretty late from rehearsal for Handel's Messiah.  Tomorrow is our final rehearsal and we'll have an audience there and then our performance is Sunday.  Last night we went through all of the choruses that we're singing.
As I sang, I listened to the words and thought to myself, "this is such a beautiful piece of music.  I am praying that somebody comes to listen to the music and finds the words to be even more beautiful."  What I mean is that I'm hoping someone comes because they appreciate classical music but as they hear it, they come to understand the message and turn to God realizing that this message is the story of how God has saved us.  So, as I sing tomorrow and Sunday, I know God will be listening.  And, I'm hoping others will be hearing the words we're singing.  I'll probably never know if someones life will change or if someone who needs to hear the message of God will hear it there.  But, that's what I would like to think and that's how I'll be singing- like I'm telling the story of Jesus' life to someone who needs to hear it.
I can't wait!  I was thinking the other day about the Christmas story.  We hear it every year.  If it ever gets old to hear it, and even if it doesn't, finding someone who has never heard it and sharing it with them will probably be an awesome way to celebrate Christmas!  I'm going to try to find someone to share it with in the next week.

Luke 2:11

New King James Version (NKJV)

¹¹ For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
