No More Alarm Clock

for 10 days!  Whoot!

I shall not leave my bed until I see the sun.

Whoa.  Today presented the blackest morning I've ever seen.  I was out with the dogs at 6:30 and it looked like a moonless midnight.

But... today shall be a little longer than yesterday was!  We're on the upswing. {smiling}

I have something precious to share.
It's a big brother loving his little sister...  I just love how he loves her - he's so smitten.






I wish it weren't so dark.  It's so adorable how he pats her when she fusses and tells her "It's okay."



Christmas hymn of the day... O Holy Night


O holy night, the stars are brightly shining;
It is the night of the dear Savior’s birth!
Long lay the world in sin and error pining,
Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope, the weary soul rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.

Fall on your knees, O hear the angel voices!
O night divine, O night when Christ was born!
O night, O holy night, O night divine!

Led by the light of faith serenely beaming,
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand.
So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming,
Here came the wise men from Orient land.
The King of kings lay thus in lowly manger,
In all our trials born to be our friend!

Fall on your knees, O hear the angel voices!
O night divine, O night when Christ was born!
O night, O holy night, O night divine!

Truly He taught us to love one another;
His law is love and His Gospel is peace.
Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother
And in His Name all oppression shall cease.
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
Let all within us praise His holy Name!

Fall on your knees, O hear the angel voices!
O night divine, O night when Christ was born!
O night, O holy night, O night divine!


I just heard Selah do it on Pandora.  I like their rendition (I like most renditions).




 Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, 
praising God and saying,
  “Glory to God in the highest heaven,
   and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.” 
~Luke 2:13, 14
