The Music Of Christmas

Delighting in the Music of Christmas

Oh, the music of Christmas.

What a special time of year this is!

I can’t help it – I find myself humming a little Christmas song, no matter where I am – at the grocery store, the gym, lots of places.

And, sometimes, it’s loud enough for people to hear.  🙂

I love the music of Christmas!

Don’t you?

Gentri Does it Again

The Gentlemen’s Trio, also known as “Gentri,” has won me over again with their Christmas music.

I fell in love with them, actually last Christmas, when I heard their rendition of The Little Drummer Boy.

They’re back!

With their delightful and recently released Christmas song, “Mary’s Boy Child,” and the wonderfully talented and awfully cute members of the Rise Up Children’s Choir – Gentri has succeeded in bringing me once again to tears of joy.

Have you heard their latest Christmas collaboration?

This is an upbeat, hope-filled, song.

Get ready to tap your feet.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.  🙂

The Coming Glory

So much hope in one little baby – Who is Christ the Lord.

The answer of the need of the human heart is found in that little Child—God in the flesh [John 1:1, 14]—suffering our suffering, weeping our tears, living our life, dying our death [1 Corinthians 15:3], the great Lord God of heaven who understands and sympathizes with us [Hebrews 4:14-16], and who someday, in His coming, will lift us to glory and to heaven [1 Thessalonians 4:16-17].Dr. W.A. Criswell, beloved expository preacher.2

Shining The Light You Have Within

The Light You Have Within

Do you love Christmas music?

We sure do at our house.

It’s always a treat to bring out our Christmas CDs, and listen to our favorite carols and songs.

Christmas flash mobs are also fun. YouTube has a bunch you can enjoy if you’re interested.

Not sure where to start?

Please allow me to help.

I saw this one and had to share.

This Christmas video features the timeless classic, “O Come All Ye Faithful.”

Meet The Five Strings and their delightful flash mob.

Shining The Light You Have Within

Pure Joy

I am sitting here moved to tears every time I watch this video.

Did you catch that little saying at the beginning before they sing?

“You’ll never know how much light you have within, until you try to shine it for others.”

May the light of Christ shine through you to reach the world.

He loves you so!

Christmas Music To Soothe Your Soul

Music To Brighten Your Day

Christmas is just around the corner, and I couldn’t be more excited!

delight in God

One of my favorite things to do when celebrating this time of year is listening to Christmas music.  If you’re like me, you could listen to it all day, and not get tired of it.

It doesn’t matter if it’s sung by a choir, a renowned vocalist, or simply background music in a store, I’m humming along, sometimes out loud. Just ask the folks shopping next to me after my seventh trip to Hobby Lobby!

An Exciting Discovery

Just recently I came across the music of someone I hadn’t heard before.

Her name is Susan Holloway and she’s a virtuoso violinist from Memphis, Tennessee.

Have you seen her videos on YouTube?

We’re talking over a million views, and for good reason.

What an amazing God-given talent she has!

Whomever on her team came up with the creative idea of filming her performing on a picturesque mountain in Tennessee, is a genius!

You’ll see what I mean in this video.

Please enjoy.

Music To Soothe Your Soul

Are you looking for music to soothe your soul?

How about listening to some peaceful melodies during your long commute to work?

Or, maybe you’re looking for some background music for the Christmas party you’re hosting?

Susan Holloway has just released her CD, “Joy To The World.”

Her CD features timeless classics such as, “White Christmas,” and “Mary Did You Know?”

I hope you get a chance to check it out.

Have a great week!

See you at Hobby Lobby  😉
