✨O holy night✨ the stars are brightly shining✨
it is the night of our dear Savior’s birth✝️
Long lay the world in sin and error pining,
till He appeared and the soul felt its worth❤️

Never until my mid 40s did I pay attention to the lyrics of some of our most traditional Christmas songs. Last night, before bed I had this song come to mind and since then I can't get this part out of my head. It's running on repeat in the background of my mind like songs often do and I took a moment to slow down and allow myself to pay attention to it. To really 'hear' the words as they make their way through my thoughts. You know what, it turns out I really needed to truly listen to them because although I've been dealing with a lot over the past 5 weeks, I really feel my Lord and Savior working in my life. I don't know why but I feel called to post this publicly and not only remember how beautiful and meaningful these 'old fashioned' Christmas songs are, but publicly state how much peace and joy they give me. Gifts are fun, lights are pretty but the blessing of Jesus this Christmas season is the most beautiful present I've ever received ❤️
