“Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit. And her husband Joseph, being a just man and unwilling to put her to shame, resolved to divorce her quietly.”
Matthew 1:18-19
“It came upon the midnight clear, that glorious song of old,
From angels bending near the earth, to touch their harps of gold:
“Peace on the earth, goodwill to men, from heaven’s all-gracious King.”
The world in solemn stillness lay, to hear the angels sing”
Edmund Sears
“But as he considered these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.””
Matthew 1:20-21

A glorious post! It is interesting to see winter’s face in your area. It looks wonderful. ~Ginene
Thanks so much, Ginene! Wishing you a joy-filled week of Christmas!
Pam, I was at the concert too! I thought about texting you and seeing if you would be there. It was our 3rd time to see him over the last 10 years.
Hope you have a wonderful Christmas.
I hope you received my email. Merry Christmas!
Virginia is adorable. I love how she’s posing for the picture – a true model! Yes, it looks (and feels) like winter now. 🙂
It feels like winter today, cold and windy…but no complaints! Happy Monday!
Beautiful!!!
Thanks, Jenna!
What a magnificent space. I know you had to have had a wonderful time.
It was great, thanks Jeanie!
My dear husband sings barbershop music with 2 different acapella groups. Crimson Pride from Tuscaloosa who did a Christmas show last weekend and this past weekend, the Birmingham chorus, Voices of the South performed at the Lyric Theater. Truly a gorgeous gold and white makeover that is stunning. Both shows were affordable and very family friendly!
Edith, those shows sound wonderful…I must get to the Lyric Theater!
