Christmas in Our Hearts

Christmas in our hearts

Dear Sisters in Christ –

May this blessed season fill your hearts with joy as we celebrate the miraculous birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

And she gave birth to her firstborn son; and she wrapped Him in cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. – Luke 2:7, (NASB).¹

With the spirit of Christmas already in our hearts, we can rejoice.

This precious baby boy was God in the flesh!

Why did He come here?

By His sovereign grace, God sent us His Son to redeem mankind.

For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost. – Luke 19:10, (NASB).²

A Timeless Song for Celebrating Christmas in Our Hearts

This time of year, I usually turn to one of my favorite groups during Christmas – Gentri – to see what beautiful music they have to share with their fans.

You are in for a treat.

Known for their enchanting vocal arrangements and heartwarming videos, here Gentri sings the timeless Christian hymn, “Away in a Manger.”

As you listen, may their harmonious voices remind you of that miraculous silent night, filling your heart with the profound joy of the Christmas story.

On another note, I would appreciate your prayers. A medical issue in November has become severe, and I’m scheduled for several tests. Thank you so much in advance.

A Great Video To Get You Into The Christmas Spirit

Asking for a friend 😉

Is it okay to have a crush on the gents of the musical group, “Gentri”?

Gentri "Do You Hear What I Hear?"

I’m telling you – these extremely talented guys get me right in the heartstrings with their music every single time, especially during the Christmas season.

First off, their voices are gorgeous, blending together in perfect harmony.

But, there’s more to it.

In my opinion, what launches them above many other artists who release Christmas songs, are the captivating videos The Gentlemen’s Trio release on YouTube.

The storylines behind their music can make you cry happy tears, or at least bring a smile.

This year, the group is back again with another winner to get you into the Christmas spirit.

Gentri just recently released an endearing version of the beloved Christmas song, “Do You Hear What I Hear?” which premiered on Thanksgiving Day.

As of this writing, the video has already gotten over 2.7K views. Their take of the classic song provides a delightful look at the meaning of Christmas through the eyes of children.

Where did they find these adorable kids?

Watch this and you’ll see what I mean . . .

Didn’t you love it when the children were describing the gifts the wise men could have brought Baby Jesus?

“Baby things, like Onesies!”

So precious.

What I See This Year

Do you see what I see?

This year, I see a Christmas full of “change” that nobody wants, and one that looks different from any other Christmas I’ve ever experienced in my life.

But will you hear what I hear?

In churches, we should hear a time-honored message of redemption that never changes – no matter what.

The Christmas Spirit

The Christmas Spirit Will Live Forever

As church goers across the country celebrate Christmas in person, and in some cases, watch the service live stream – the story of Christ’s birth will continue to be told.

Our Savior was born in a manger, and He came to save mankind.

It’s a gift – so the choice is up to us whether to accept eternal happiness, or be sentenced to a godless existence without Him.

The Almighty appeared on earth as a helpless human baby, needing to be fed and changed and taught to talk like any other child. The more you think about it, the more staggering it gets. Nothing in fiction is so fantastic as this truth of the Incarnation.¹

– J.I. Packer, Bible teacher, author, and speaker. (1926-2020).

The Music Of Christmas

December 11, 2019 Gracie

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
