Word-filled Wednesday

Happy Wednesday! I have not written for the entire month of December with the exception of leaving up the video of Faith Hill singing "A Baby Changes Everything". For today's scripture verse I am going to write out the 150th Psalm.

Psalm 150 Praise the Lord! Praise God in His sanctuary; Praise Him in His mighty firmament!
                  Praise Him for His mighty acts; Praise Him according to His excellent greatness!
                 Praise Him with the sound of the trumpet; Praise Him with the lute and the harp!
                 Praise Him with the timbrel and dance; Praise Him with stringed instruments and flutes!
                Praise Him with loud cymbals; Praise Him with clashing cymbals!
                Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord!

Our Christmas Eve Service consisted of many things but one thing in particular spoke volumes to my heart....the children's choir and the youth group combination singing / dancing presentation of "Little Drummer Boy". I didn't have much to bring Christmas Eve as I was hurting and sick. This was my first Christmas without my husband and son and although my mind said "I will go to church and celebrate the birth of Jesus"; it was a struggle and sitting in my chair alone far from everyone else so that I could cry and also so that I could keep germs away from others, I found myself very lacking in the worship department. And then....this happened. I don't have a picture. I have a video. I'm going to play it for you and tell you that after these children sang and worshipped with their whole hearts and with JOY on the countenance of their faces and each one using their talent or gift and being happy to bring it to the King Jesus, I found myself worshipping! Praise the Lord!

You may have a lot weighing heavy on your heart today. Will you take a moment and pause and offer the talent or gift that God has given you to the Lord so that we can say "and then He smiled at me"....oh Hallalujah!
