There have been many times over the Christmas Season that things did not go as planned. One year we wanted to gather with our daughter and son-in-love at their annual Christmas Eve celebration, but a storm was raging and we were not able to get there. Another time our son and his family were unable to travel from California because Donner Pass was closed.
Sometimes disappointment is as common over a holiday as celebration is.
But one thing about Christmas that never changes is the reason for the celebration. It is the night LOVE was truly born among mankind. Listen to the song “Love Was Born” by Songwriters: Bernie Herms, Stephanie Lewis, Mark Schultz.
“Starlight shines, the night is still / Shepherds watch from a hill / I close my eyes, see the night / When Love was born.
“A perfect Child gently waits / A mother bends to kiss God’s face / I close my eyes, see the night / When Love was born.
“Angels fill the midnight sky / And they sing /Hallelujah, He is Christ Our King
“Emmanuel, Prince of peace / Love come down for you and me /Heavens’ gift, the Holy spark To let the way inside our hearts
“Bethlehem, through your small door / Came the hope we’ve waited for / The world was changed forevermore / When Love was born
“I close my eyes, see the night / When Love was born.”
Wonder of Wonders
