Good Morning!
It’s the day before the night before Christmas. A couple of nights ago Miss N and I spent the evening watching the Christmas Carol starring Patrick Stewart as Scrooge. Yesterday I got to play nine holes with my good friend and competitor Tim McCullough. We had a great time even though it was a blustery day. Blessings just seem to be all around us this year … and some heartaches, too … but overall it is a good Christmas.
I wonder what it was like for Mary as she made her way from Nazareth to Bethlehem. Her journey was a long tirp over not so smooth roads; up and down mountains; cold nights; little food. It is a hardship we cannot even begin to appreciate. But she made the journey and Jesus was born. And we celebrate at this time of year that birth.
I have a hard time picking out my favorite Christmas carol. I love “O Come All Ye Faithful”. But I also equally love “Joy to the World” and “Angels We Have Heard on High”. There are so many good familiar carols from which to choose … and each provides us with another facet of the beautiful jewel that is the Song of Christmas.
I will be writing tomorrow … but I will probably be much more brief than today … we have a lot to do on Christmas Eve morning. And perhaps you do, too … so I will take this opportunity to say Merry Christmas and God bless you during this time of year.
Agape’
