Finally, someone that gets it. Every day we should be celebrating the birth and life of Jesus. Imagine a world in which we all struggled to emulate his life...every single day.
I agree. Last night our church had a candlelight service. It was a 30 minute sermon about salvation, and then we all went outside with candles, real candles, and sing silent night. It wasn’t even Christmas or Christmas Eve. And it was one of the most special events I’ve been to during this time of year. God bless you, and I pray that we celebrate God in the same manner each and every day.
It must be about 25-30 years ago that I went to the sing-a-long Messiah at Davies Symphony Hall in SF. The actual singing of the Messiah was a lot of fun, but what I remember most was the spontaneous singing of Christmas carols afterwards as people were leaving the building. Nearly 3000 people singing as they walked down the tiers to the exits. I have no idea how songs were even chosen, it just happened. It was one of the moments in my life where I truly got to witness the power of the Holy Spirit and the joy evoked and it is something I will never forget.

Fellowship is a wonderful thing.

Wow, that sounds amazing! I’m so glad you have that fun memory.
