Oh Holy Night...

MERRY CHRISTMAS YA'LL!!!

Today is my FAV.O.RITE day of the Christmas Holidays!!!  Why you might ask?  Well.... tonight is the candle light service!!!  It's when Friends and Family are standing near, the Church is dark, and everyone is holding a lit candle and singing Christmas Carols. (And I get to play with fire AND I have permission to do so!!!) In the midst of all of that, there I stand feeling the Peace That Passes All Understanding and cacooned up in God's Unconditional Love... (and then the candle wax drips on my finger and it hurts for a second, then I think "cool"...and I pretend I had my nails done...) - I reflect on my faith, my life: the path I'm on and the paths that will be lit up for me, my friends and my family, my Son - all of you my blogging pals!  I realize yet again just how wonderful life is! (AND LED pillar candles - those are wonderful too...especially for the flame-challenged (Santy Claus came to visit me a lil' early.))

O holy night,the stars are brightly shining;
It is the night of our 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.
Fall on your knees,
O hear the angel voices!
O night divine,
O night when Christ was born!
O night divine, O night,O night divine!
Led by the light of Faith serenely beaming,
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand.
So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming,
Here came the wise men from Orient land.
The King of Kings lay thus
in lowly manger,
In all our trials
born to be our Friend!
He knows our need, To our weakness no stranger;
Behold your King!
Before the lowly bend!
Behold your King! your King!
before Him bend.
Truly He taught us to love one another;
His law is love and His gospel is peace.
Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother
And in His name all oppression shall cease.
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
Let all within us praise His holy name!
Christ is the Lord,
Oh praise His name forever,
His pow'r and glory evermore proclaim
His pow'r and glory evermore proclaim.

I hope you and your family have a WONDERFUL AND JOYOUS AND

VERRRRRRRRYYYY MERRY MERRY CHRISTMAS YA'LL!!!!

Comin' to you LIVE from a single-wide... hee-hee
