Christmas

i've been trying to figure out a Christmas post for the last couple days. and i feel like i am lacking in originality; in meaning; in good words. i guess if anyone wants to, they can read my post from last year: http://emilyharnish.blogspot.com/2009/12/christmas-eve.html
cause i still think that post is relevant.


but this year, rather than trying to add something to a day where we say and spend and laugh and cry and exist in extravagant ways, i thought i'd instead ask you (ask me) to be still for a moment.

read these lyrics.

Go into the world
Showing how much He loves you
Walk in the world
In merciful ways, He loves you
He loves you

Emmanuel on Earth

Yours is the body
The hands and the feet
And Yours are the eyes to look compassionately
To bless you and me
Bless you and me
He will bless you and me

Go into the world
Showing how much He loves you
Walk in the world
Meaningful ways, He loves you
He loves you

Emmanuel on Earth
God with us on Earth

Yours is the body
The hands and the feet
And Yours are the eyes to look compassionately
To bless you and me
Bless you and me
He will bless you and me
To bless you and me
Bless you and me
To bless you and me

Go into the world
Showing how much He loves you


think about that -

Emmanuel on Earth
God with us on Earth.

Christmas. God with us on Earth. To bless us, love us; to cause us to walk in the world in meaningful ways. It is so beautiful.


So - yeah. ...Try to Love the Questions Themselves...'s Christmas benediction is:
Go into the world. Show it how much He loves us. Amen.
