Good Morning Beauties!
Happy Christmas Eve Day to you all. I think this day for me has more meaning that Christmas Day. Tonight is when we celebrate Jesus’ arrival. The Light that took away the darkness has come. It brings back memories of Midnight Mass with a choir of Angels singing from the balcony behind me. It was absolutely beautiful.
For some of you, this may not be a day of warm memories, and to that I say, “I’m so sorry.” Ask the Holy Spirit to help you process those wounds and allow him to heal your heart. Let the light of Jesus illuminate those dark, hurtful places and leave only his perfect love. Will you do it?
For all of us, today we can celebrate the true gift of Jesus. I’ve made a list of the many benefits of this beautiful gift in my life:
He protects, provides, loves, encourages, delights in me, will never leave me, created the unique me.
I am cherished, adored, treasured, beloved.
My list is just the highlights, of course, because the benefits of knowing Jesus are endless. What’s on your list? What does having the true light of the world in your life bring? Selah.
There are so many deeply meaningful songs to celebrate Jesus’ birth, and I’ve shared a couple with you here. First is “O Holy Night.” It brings a special reverence to the significance of Jesus coming to the world as a baby so that one day he could die for our sins - to become our Savior. Please review the words, let them sink in, and then watch my favorite rendition of this beautiful song.
Second is my all time, non-traditional Christmas song. The joy expressed in the song perfectly describes the excitement I feel on Christmas Eve. I’m in awe and wonder at how much God loves me to send his son, to save me and reconcile me back to my Abba Father. I am a Child of God - The greatest gift I could ever receive!
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 appear'd and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope the weary soul rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn!
Fall on your knees
Oh hear the angel voices
Oh night divine
Oh night when Christ was born
Oh night divine
Oh 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 come the wise men from Orient land
The King of Kings lay thus in lowly manger
In all our trials born to be our friend
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
Fall on your knees
Oh hear the angel voices
Oh night divine
Oh night when Christ was born
Oh night divine
Oh night divine
