Can you hear it?

[Sandra Casey]

God put me in a place of leading a Christmas event for the first time in about ten years. A Ladies' Tea? Not what I would have normally put on the calendar....but God used this suggestion from one of our ladies to bring me to see Christmas in a whole new way.

As we walked through the events for that night, we were missing a song for one of the drama vignettes. As I looked and searched through songs on YouTube, I came across a beautiful video illustrating "A Song of Christmas" by Newsong. It asked the question, "Can you hear it?....the song of peace on earth. God came down, here with us....that's the song of Christmas". Through the words and illustrations, that phrase "Can you hear it?" permeated my heart. Was I listening?

Was I listening to the message of Christmas that God the Father sent when He chose to send His Son to earth. A message of Peace, of Love, of Hope, of Fellowship? Christmas has always been so rushed and crazy....but now I was beginning to listen. Listening for the true message of Christmas that God had for me....and each day it speaks louder and is more compelling.

Here's the link to the video if anyone wants to watch it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXCjb30NItk&feature=related
