Merry Christmas! Yay!
There were three church services yesterday. I went to the first one because Harold and Beth attend that one. We sat together in the pew.
Lauren was there too, and right before we sang a song called: “Where Shepherds Lately Knelt”, she passed me a tissue and said: “This is from Lloyd”. I laughed out loud. I have never not cried during that song. Ha!
After hanging out at my mom’s house, I went to the next service. I was part of the choir for this service. It was so fun! I sang like crazy! And I cried some more. It was a very full service. I took a picture right at the beginning of communion.
After that, back to Mom’s house for more hang-out time and some chili. Lauren joined us. Then we all went to the late service. It was less-attended, but I liked the late-night feel. Very Christmasy. I cried some more. I was loving that I was wearing a tie. I took a picture:
Ugh. I cried, too, and I am not a fan of tears. Lloyd, if you read this, you’ll be glad to know I chewed out Joe Herl for writing such beautiful music for the shepherd’s song. I also told him you’d send your chapel message to his so he could read your funny words. I’ll need those, too.
It was a very nice Christmas Eve, and I’m glad you’re here, Brad! 🙂
I hear ya….i couldn’t sing all of silent night last night….. didn’t have a tissue so had to just blink allot and think of somebody tripping or running into the door that opens out?…… our service was beautiful too! I’m glad you’re there with family!
