Are Christmas songs putting you in the mood for the holiday? For many of us, this Christmas season brings anything but peace.
This Guideposts article discusses how the author found peace in an unlikely Christmas song. That song – All is Well (sung in this link by Carrie Underwood and Michael W. Smith) – has a beautiful melody and the “all is well” message can promote calm in the midst of stress.
Highlighting “Christmas songs” will continue for the next few weeks. For many of us, these songs help settle us into the season and also evoke important emotions.
POSSIBLE ACTIONS: think of a favorite Christmas song…
- search for that song on the internet using the song title plus “youtube” -> it’ll likely bring up several versions that may prompt your listening enjoyment
- consider sending along that favorite song (and any memories and/or commentary you might share) to salong_now @ yahoo.com -> perhaps that will prompt a CP posting about that song during this or a future Christmas season? 🙂
Or maybe you’ll want to “prime the pump” by checking out the Christmas Music – Disciple Playbook playlist HERE?
Whatever you do, may it involve enjoyment of this Advent day, filled with the Spirit!
All is Well…
