O Holy Night!

We went to a dinner theater musical Christmas play for several years where the ending included a young, talented, professional actor singing "O Holy Night." His strong, vibrant voice had a profound effect on me. From the night forward, "O Holy Night" became my favorite Christmas hymn.

Last night, hubby sang it, and although he's not a professional, he did a great job. More importantly, it touched my heart with the words and music.

Let us all remember as we celebrate Christmas, the words:

O holy night, the stars are brightly shining.
It is the night of the dear Savior's birth. 
Long lay the world in sin and error pining,
Till he appeared and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks, a new and glorious morn!

Rejoice! Celebrate!

Merry Christmas to one and all!

Sunday Morning Peace

THIS DAY!

This is the day the Lord has made.

Let us rejoice and be glad therein!

--the Psalmist

Sunday Morning Peace

The Bible instructs us to rejoice.

Today I rejoice:

The snow is pretty.

Even this shall not last: spring is on its way!

I have good and caring sons, one daughter-in-law, three grandsons!

Friends--too numerous to name

An agent; two editors

A husband who cares for me, knows how to buy the right presents,

 and has spent these years with me on our married journey

Opportunities.

Two novels out; more prospects for this year.

That I know God and serve him.

I rejoice!

Blessings
