Merry Christmas, everyone!
I’m going to make a cute little Christmas observation and then leave you with some pictures.
Sunday, we had a Christmas program in sacrament meeting. It had its moments of genuine beauty and grandeur, like the special arrangement of “Silent Night” which included flute, but there were also a lot of things that went wrong. Someone couldn’t show up for their part in a duet because they were in the hospital, the primary kids forgot the third verse of “Away In A Manger,” and so on. Despite these things, though, the program was beautiful and full of the spirit.
Now, Mary and Joseph heading to Bethlehem must’ve been a lame time. Great, we have to go travel to Bethlehem to be taxed (or counted for the census), Mary is pregnant, and I’m sure that it is going to be crazy busy there. Of course, nothing really did go right that night. The lodging was awful, and I’m sure that their Christmas Eve dinner was nothing special, either. Despite all that was lame about the experience, though, it must’ve been glorious and full of the spirit as Jesus the Christ came into the world.
I hope you have a happy rest of December. Rock and roll ~
