THE HALLS ARE ALIVE WITH THE SOUND OF MUSIC

Yes we are and thank God for each day we have. He has blessed us in so many ways and even though we will not have family here with us at Christmas, we are content and look forward to what God has in store for us.
It has been awhile since I have written in our Blog and one of the problems I have had is finding out how to get back into it to add a new post. Why I am so persistent with something that really is of no importance is a mystery to me. Since I probably have no more than one or maybe two followers ( Thanks Molly and Katie) I just don't want to let them down.
This year I had good intentions to write a Christmas letter but Christmas came to early for us. I decided to just share our thoughts on our Blog. Well, maybe no one will read it, but here goes.
Each year God seems to remind us of a truth that we may have forgotten. There are so many! While trimming our Christmas tree I played Handel's Messiah and was over come with the words and music. Yes, I had heard this music many times, but this year it really touched my heart.

FOR US A CHILD IS BORN, TO US A SON IS GIVEN, AND THE GOVERNMENT WILL BE ON HIS SHOULDERS. AND HE WILL BE CALLED WONDERFUL COUNSELOR, MIGHTY GOD, EVERLASTING FATHER, PRINCE OF PEACE. (Isiah 9:6)

Now, here is the part that blows my mind. The prophet Isiah wrote these words about 700 BC. Think about these words and that God had put these words in Isiah's heart 700 years before Jesus was born...Incredible!
So, why don't you go to I-Tunes, download The Messiah, turn up the sound and praise God!
Merry Christmas from Lee and Nancy
