On this CHRISTMAS EVE . . .

* O Holy Night by Paul Brandt *

*
Silent Night by Kari Jobe *

* HOPE Was Born This Night  by Sidewalk Prophets   * God of Grace and Glory, 
as heavenly angels spoke to earthly shepherds 
and eternity entered time in the child of Bethlehem, 
through the telling of the Christmas story, 
let our lives be caught up in the eternal 
in that same Child, 
that we might join shepherds, neighbours, family, and all the heavenly host 
in praising the coming of Yeshua, Jesus Christ, our Saviour. Amen. *

* Mary's Boy by Boney M *

* Silent Night by Pentatonix *

* Hallelujah [LIGHT Has Come] by BarlowGirl *

Light of Life, You came in flesh, 

born into human pain and joy, 

giving us power to be Your children. 

Grant us faith, O Christ, to see Your presence among us, 

so that all of creation may sing new songs of gladness 

and walk in Your way of Peace. Amen. 

*
May God's Praise be made Glorious!
Yeshua has come . . .
* Ending with one celtic version of O Holy Night by a favourite Canadian Celtic family, the Barra MacNeils *
*

God of all ages, 
in the birth of Your Son, 
Your boundless love for Your people 
shattered the power of darkness. 
Be born in us with that same Love and Light, 
that our song may blend with all the choirs of heaven and earth 
to the glory of Your holy name. Amen

* Readings found Here All Blessings sent to you as we join the Celebration of this Holy Night!

FRIDAY FIVES - RANDOM CHRISTMAS TINSEL TOES VERSION

by revkarla

Random Friday Five~ Tinsel Toe Edition Happy Friday Five, all you gals and pals winding your way through Advent!  Time to take a break, put your tinsel toes on, and play a round of Friday Five for a breath or two. 1. What song are you grooving to these days? From the Christmas drama last week - The Chaos Before Christmas - great groovin'! 2. If YOU were a room in your home, what would it be, and why? The sunroom.  South facing, fully glazed catching  every ray of sunshine and full view of the days and seasons as they ebb and flow... Comfy wicker rockers, bookshelves and tables at hand offering hospitality and welcome to all who enter... 3.  What ever happened to LipSmackers?  Does anyone remember that lip balm from the 70's?  Do you have a recommendation for a really awesome lip balm? I do remember LipSmackers, but  would recommend Rimmel's lip glaze or vinyl as I can't think of anything at the moment other than Burt's Bees... .4.  Tell us about a tiny (or HUGE) grace moment from this week. My daughter in law and son's father in law underwent heart bypass - successfully!  and a wonderful report doctor's are anticipating moving him out of ICU with a possible home date of Sunday!  All Grace and glory to our Creator, Healer and Sustainer... 5.  If you could just have any treat/snack in the world right now, what it would be and with whom would you share it? (assuming you are in a sharing kind of mood. Some kind of yummy chocolate truffles.  I'd share them with you, of course, and each reader!                                         Enjoy, and please let us know you played in the comments - post a link to your blog; or play in the comments or even on Facebook! Cheers and rock those tinsel toes! * SHARED AT: - * Christmas Music Moves Me *
