Amy Grant sings this Christmas song called, "I need a Silent Night." It's beautiful and is about the rush of December and shopping and where is the true meaning of Christmas. So this morning at the Marysville Grace women's Christmas luncheon I sang that song (not very well I might add) and my sweet six year old daughter had a part in the song. She recited from memory a selection of verses from Luke...
There were shepherds out in the fields keeping watch over their flock by night. And the glory of the Lord shone round about them and they were sore afraid. And the angel said, "Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that shall be for all people, for unto you is born a savior who is Christ the king. And his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Prince of Peace."
Kate was outstanding! She was a start performer!
Once she completed her part i was to finish with the chorus and i was so emotionally overwhelmed that i teared up and could not sing.
Seeing fruit in your children may seem rare at times, but what i have learned is to revel in it, enjoy it and completely allow your children to see the pride and confidence you have in them. Even if it means you are crying in front of 124 women instead of completing the song!
