My son filled my ipod with at least a dozen hours of Christmas music.<BR/><BR/>I've heard it said that no great movement gets going or lasts without at least one good theme song. We sing in most all our meetings. We sing of the restoration, sing for joy, sing of the atoning sacrifice, of love, repentance, and resolution. We sing to relax. We sing to bond. <BR/><BR/>Above all, we remember, ". . . the song of the righteous is a prayer unto me, and it shall be answered with a blessing upon their heads."Anna Arnetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09882034663742937010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3723124266752750306.post-22211625916949782412008-12-18T07:51:00.000-07:002008-12-18T07:51:00.000-07:00great post, Rene!

Literally!<BR/><BR/>Every morning in December we have been singing a hymn that expresses a character trait of the Savior. I thought the kids would balk...but we all have experienced joy through the experience.Kari Pikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13855609339118198399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3723124266752750306.post-92015772212503957642008-12-16T22:37:00.000-07:002008-12-16T22:37:00.000-07:00This is my favorite hymn as well.

Last year, I had our ward choir sing these two "unfamiliar" verses for our Christmas program, while the congregation joined in on the verses from the hymnbook.<BR/><BR/>By the way, I was going to use this carol for my ANWA post next week, but you beat me to the punch. Now I'll have to come up with something else!

My top favorite has never changed over the years which is bit unusual for me...O Holy Night. Something in it speaks to me as did I Heard the Bells did for you this year. What a lovely tradition.Terri Wagnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06905158157291602809noreply@blogger.com
