Lessons and Carols

M and I just returned home from "A Service of Advent Lessons and Carols". What a wonderful way to begin the Christmas season. I love the music!! I love having the opportunity to lift my voice in song along with the pipe organ, it is a treat I don'™t often have. D did a wonderful job as always. The blending of Scripture and hymns was excellent. I am so thankful that the bad weather held off so we were able to go. After the service we went downstairs for some treats and D invited us to join him and his parents at their table. I was surprised that his mother remembered me, it has been several years now since we last saw each other. She is always very sweet to me.
This year I find myself truly celebrating Advent more than I have in past years. Most of the hymns we sang tonight I wasn't familiar with, but they blessed my heart with their texts of hope and anticipation. I had a very nice evening and will go to sleep tonight with a hymn on my heart. Savior Of The Nations Come.
