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!

I love the Little Drummer Boy but this was a spectacular incorporation and wake up to anyone.
I'm sorry as you were hurting and sick that Christmas is so difficult but you made the effort! (if I was sick, I could not do this) You know
As you praise, or even watch the power in this, you can't help but be connected to the Living God.
Definitely shows Psalm 150 in all God's glory and how each gift can be given to the King with a full heart of praise and thanks! I'm thankful you went and glad that you were there... and pray for God to meet you whatever the circumstance
right as you are and where you are. When you can't lift up your arms, may other sisters in Christ lift them up for you. When you are weak, He is strong! When you are sick, seek His wholeness and healing.
When your heart aches, allow Jesus to wipe away the pain and hold you closely! When you just can't take it anymore, give it to Him. Just sit, soak and rest! You have been through much and victory comes in persevering not in giving in or up.
I'm so glad that much in your service spoke volumes to you. I pray that you are uplifted and encouraged! that your Struggles are over! that the 'thorn' is removed.
that your son is protected as you love and pray for him (I join you).
My verse today is for you! You are on my heart and in my mind and my prayers. I love you and want God's best for YOU!(1st) than others...
Standing alongside you, holding up your arms... you are the sweetest little drummer and I love the sweet voices and the use of "drums" and gifts given up to Him! Praise God!
Peace in 2011 and for each today,
Peggy
