The Songs Of Christmas預覽

Inspired by "It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year" by City Harbor

To most people, the Christmas season is the most wonderful time of the year. With all the twinkling lights strung up around town, all the evergreen trees dressed to the nines with tinsel and ornaments, cookies for days, and packages wrapped in pretty paper tied up with ribbons and bows! For many, their favorite part of the Christmas season is the music! There is something about hearing Bing Crosby or Amy Grant sing a timeless carol that just warms the heart!

“It’s the most wonderful time of the year. With the kids jingle belling and everyone telling you, “Be of good cheer!” It’s the most wonderful time of the year. It’s the hap-happiest season of all. There’ll be much mistletoe-ing and hearts will be glowing when loved ones are near. It’s the most wonderful time of the year!”

However, For us, this song goes a layer deeper. I often find myself daydreaming about what it was like during the few weeks before Christ's Birth. What was it like back then? What were people thinking when they heard about the birth of a baby boy who had come to save the world? Were there preparations and celebrations? How did the people react when they heard the joyous news?

This Christmas season, we want to invite you to REST. Whether that be once a day, finding a quiet corner to read about the expectant birth of our Savior (Matthew 1:18-25) (Luke 2:1-20), praying for those who don't yet know the real reason for the season, or simply taking time to truly see how this is the most wonderful time of the year!
