Christmas Day

Last night at the Christmas Eve service, the student choir sang a beautiful piece called “A Star,” with the line: “a star of heavenly design, revealing hope to mankind.” Afterward, they came down out of the choir loft and dispersed into the pews. Later when it was time to walk down to the front of the church for communion, I noticed that the students weren’t clumped together as they usually are. On this night, they walked down with their families – sons and daughters united with mothers and fathers.
I saw in that moment a vision of heaven, where loved ones are reunited at the table of the Lord. That, my friends, is the hope, peace, joy and love of Christmas – the reason for the season.
Merry Christmas to all!
