This year was extra special! My entire immediate family was there!! All 7 of us!! Even the boys who hate musical type things {including my brother who is not active in the church at all}!! I had a prayer in my heart all night that that this particular brother would feel something! Especially on songs like Let Him In, He Was Here, and Three Kings Found the Lord.
At the end of the show they sing a songs that has the phrase "We can be together forever some day" in it..... they ask you to link arms with the person next to you and then sing the line with them as you think about someone that couldn't be there at the show with you, but you want to be with them forever. Last year I thought about my brother..... So this year I could barley sing along as I saw my little brother {who I never dreamed would come with us} sitting a few seats down from me!!!
I also love it at the end of the show when they announce no more clapping and then everyone sings Silent Night together. There is such peace in the room! An entire auditorium of people singing the hymn together and harmonizing to boot!! Just beautiful!!
So today's Christmas thought is from The Forgotten Carols! If you have never heard them, I HIGHLY recommend them!!
This song is my FAVORITE and I start crying from the moment the intro starts! Enjoy!!
