Today was another day of no gifts in the pockets--instead we thought about what a gift we've been given in our families, and in the gospel. We talked about it at church, and I tried to bring that home, too. We also really enjoyed singing lots of Christmas hymns at church--this is my favorite Sunday of the year by far. I even played my flute in sacrament, which always has me a little nervous, but it went well. I just love the focus church can bring back into the season--this time of year really is all about being grateful for the gifts Christ gave us--the chance to bs born, learn, make mistakes, repent, and ultimately, hopefully, return to live with Him again. I am so blessed.
I agree. The Sunday before Christmas is definitely my favorite Sunday as well. Christmas programs are always so put together so well! I must admit though, I was a HUGE fan of all the congregational hymns (there were four yesterday) accompanied by both the organ AND piano. The chapel was literally FILLED with music.
ReplyDeleteI wish I'd known about the flute playing. I really miss hearing my kids make music.
ReplyDeleteMay I add a wish to my Christmas list?
