We had a really busy family Christmas eve service tonight. Lots of families with very young children, lots of excitement around. I tried hard not to wind them up any more than they already were so that they would go home and go to bed! There were lots of new faces too. One mum told me that her daughter had been at the school end of term service last week and, ever since had been pestering her mum to take her to the Christmas eve service. How wonderful. I'm off to do the midnight service now. I love it too but somehow it doesn't have that air of "anything might happen" that accompanies the early family service. But who knows? Maybe God will surprise us! Have a blessed Christmas.
I've enjoyed looking at these last four posts, Liz. What fun! And you've given me new things to think about, too.
ReplyDeleteHow did the midnight service go?
It's Christmas Eve here. We still have our festivities before us.
You, though, Merriest of Christmases to my sister across the pond!
