"The word of the Lord came . . . But they refused to listen, . . . Therefore great wrath came from the Lord . . ." - Zechariah 7:8ff
Dear Friends in Christ -
It's a popular Christmas carol, so lots of famous people sing it: Bing Crosby and Vanessa Williams and Carrie Underwood and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir among many others. Often, musical artists say they want to avoid doing the song as it's always been doing and about their desire to "leave their mark" on the song.
But I wonder: did this song leave its mark on them? This song is about listening. It's about really hearing the traditional things in the Christmas season that we might pass by or take for granted.
As the days count down to Christmas, may we choose to slow down rather than to rush, so that we may see the star, hear the song, and know the power of the Babe in the manger - who is Christ our Lord.
Faithfully,
Janet+
PS - I've been doing a lousy job of going slow enough to see and hear. Sigh. Lack of posts here are evidence of an important thing I've been rushing through - time with Scripture. Hopefully my time with God over the next few days will bring to ME more peace and throug me to you more posts!!!
