Merry Christmas!!

     We went to a beautiful candlelight Christmas Eve service last night.  I couldn't resist taking a photo.  But of course, there is no way to capture the beauty in a photo because part of the reason it was so beautiful was the atmosphere of worship that permeated the place as the candles were lit.  Nevertheless, I still wanted a picture to remember.  The room was lighted only by candles--a significant lesson in itself--when we consider that as each candle (which represented the light of the world--Jesus--in us) was lit the room became brighter and brighter.  We should never consider that we are insignificant.  Each light was important and needed to bring the darkness into light!

      I have attached this wonderful celebratory song of the birth of Christ by the Sidewalk Propthets as my gift to you.  I was not familiar with it until last night.  As a surprise, David Frey, the lead singer of Sidewalk Prophets was home for Christmas and participated on the worship team.  They began the service with this song.  I love it!
