I have very fond memories from Christmas Eve services and hearing the choir sing that song.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13173725.post-17263611014756849892008-01-24T17:14:00.000-06:002008-01-24T17:14:00.000-06:00It's nice to find other women in ministry.

Didn't realize I'd gotten that far behind but I had. Loved your comments about the political scene these days and lies and slander being spread via the e-mails. How true! People who would profess to be honest and trustworthy and yet, they send garbage like that via the e-mails.<BR/>And your post here about the music -really strikes a big chord with me. So many rock'n'roll songs that take me back in time to good memories of a much, much younger me! But some hymns really bring me "home" you could say I suppose. My all time favorite is an old Swedish hymn -"Children of the Heavenly Father" which was also my grandfather's favorite, is much loved within my Mom's entire family (Swedes, ya know), as well as our church, which was founded by Swedish immigrants, of course! Then there is another Swedish Christmas song - "Lyssna, Lyssna" (Listen, listen, hear the angels song) which our choir sings, sans accompaniment at the start of our midnight Christmas Eve service. (I know both those songs in the Swedish too, by the way. LOL) And one that I felt at the time to be such an appropriate choice -"Just As I Am" which was sung at the funeral of a life-long friend, my neighbor's son who had taken his own life at the age of 28, for who knows what reason. That song, to me, embodies the pain of that moment 32 years ago this month for those of us who knew and loved this young man as well as the pain he must have been experiencing in his heart and mind to have done such a thing. So many other songs too bring back such memories "How Great Thou Art" always conjures up the image of an elderly man from our church who had a beautiful but very untrained tenor voice and that song was one of his all-time favorites -mine too, I might add. So many other hymns that each brings a special image, memory, meaning to my mind. Makes me ever so thankful for this thing we call music, ya know!<BR/>Oh - and hope Trinity Ann had a really great 1st birthday party -just as I'm quite sure Grandma and Grandpa have had a wonderful year rejoicing in the beauty that is a grandchild!Jenihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16425701332785470116noreply@blogger.com
