Merry Christmas 
from More than Music Inc.!
Greetings!
 
Today I enjoyed the best of what a Minnesota Christmas can offer.  Family, great home cooked food, a beautiful reenactment of the Christmas story (complete with my two year old proudly donning a clothes hanger/tissue paper set of wings crafted by none other than myself), hot chocolate, more cookies than we could possibly eat, (but miraculously do), and snow - snow - SNOW! 
 
As I meticulously rounded the edges of my snowman, every so often halting the task to corral my daughter, and listening to the banter of my son, husband and father as they worked on their tunnel, (you would have thought it was to be an engineering marvel given how they plotted together!), I took a moment to just let it in.  With that moment came spontaneous praise.  What a glorious, wondrous, marvelous work God has done in my life, and in creation itself! 
 
Just a week or so ago I was in Canon City with 80 or so kids in a detention center there.  I know they were not exactly looking forward to their mandated "holiday plans."  Even there though, as the music lilted through the gymnasium, and the good news of a baby who was born to save them was spoken into their hearts, I saw them forget themselves and give leave to true beauty, if even for a moment.   
 
I pray this year God gives you a moment.  Perhaps your Christmas wasn't white, or quite so picture perfect as mine this particular year.  I've had some years like that too.  No matter - I trust God will find a way to lilt into your day, your night, your moment, and speak good news to your heart.
 
The angel said, "For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior who is Christ the Lord!  You will find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes and laying in a manger."  Then the angel was joined by a heavenly host saying, "Glory to God in the highest and on earth, peace, good will to men."    
 
Merry Christmas! 
 
With a warm heart and cold toes, :)
