Rejoice, Weary World!

We sometimes just get to not really "hearing" the Christmas songs that are everywhere we go. But, whether it's called"Happy Holidays" or "Season's Greetings," what other time of the year is the Message of God being openly heard simply in the Christmas Carols! Instead of tuning out the music this time of year, when you're out shopping, stop and think about the music that is telling everyone about Jesus!

Joy to the world, the Lord is come! .... do you feel the thrill of hope because the weary world rejoices! What better time to try to remember to do our part to help the weary world rejoice ... not to get too busy in the "trappings" (or traps that steal our time and joy) ...

Oh holy night! The stars are brightly shining,

It is the night of the dear Saviour's birth.

Long lay the world in sin and error pining,

Till He appear'd and the soul felt its worth.

A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices,

For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
