We do feel quite ‘dizzy’ these days! We raced through this past week, with last second preparations for the Musical at Church, decorating the stage there, etc.
“It’s A Wonder---ful Life” turned out fine… we had a few glitches in the technical department, but the 'chorus' and 'drama team' pulled it all together, the audience seemed to enjoy the program and the ‘storyline’ hit home for many! Thanks to each and every individual who was involved. Adult and child alike, we wouldn’t have gotten through it without YOU! Thank You!!!
We are now in the middle of the Holiday madness that December brings! Shopping, parties, etc. For instance, we have something on schedule every single evening this week, alone... not to mention anything about next week!
“I sometimes think we expect too much of Christmas DAY. We try to crowd into it the long arrears of kindliness and humanity of the whole year. As for me, I like to take my Christmas a little at a time, all through the year. And thus, I drift along into the holidays... let them overtake me unexpectedly... waking up some fine morning and suddenly saying to myself: "Why, this is Christmas Day!" (Grayson) Maybe we should all slow down TODAY and enjoy the hidden details of Christmas. The joy of the laughter in children's eyes, the beauty of a freshly fallen snow, the silence of that Holy Night many years ago and the majesty of Jesus Christ, OUR King!
By the way, I was able to ‘borrow’ a few photos, from our program on Sunday and will be posting them on the Children’s website, soon. www.sskidz.blogspot.com We will again, try to ‘capture’ a few pictures from someone, this coming Sunday and the Christmas Cantata, as well!
Let’s bottle up some of the Christmas spirit this year, put it into jars and open a jar every month during the year, 2010.……. it can be contagious, you know!
