“How many observe Christ's birthday! How few, His precepts!” ― Benjamin Franklin

Thank God, for all the statesmen, clergy and members of the body of Christ whom have given up those secret sacrifices God held in count from the very first, and you'rs to Him as our faithful provider to do so, ,

Wishing you God's best as we enter this time of year from ours to you and yours!!

I am really looking forward to Christmas...my piano pupils have been learning Carols and Christmas music since September with the challenge, 'ten memory pieces before Christmas'

I have a Hindu family, the little girl has lessons, and she has been so enthusiastic about learning Christmas carols.

I pray for all my pupils that they feel that special blessing from the Lord that he sends at Christmas.

'ten memory pieces before Christmas'

That says a lot to what you inculcate. Bravo, glad you made the right choice to pursue music when you did.

all thanks to the Lord, he directed my mom to send me for piano lessons when I was little (I wanted to go to dancing classes instead, but we couldn't afford both) I am thankful now!

My guess is such determination is not easily quenched, and eventually did find her feet on the dance floor??

I have had fun, yes, but only encouraging others,

As a Christian I shall be making the most of Christmas as a witness for Christ.

May I ask a question?

Why do we celebrate the birth of Christ on 25th Dec when it may not be the actual date / time of the year that He was born?

 

[quietbloke]

We celebrate the Person of Christ.

Christ is coming!

 

[quietbloke]

Bring it on!

'O come let us adore Him! O come let us adore Him! O come let us adore Him! Christ the LORD!'

'Raise,raise,choirs of angels,songs of loudest triumph. Through heaven's high arches be Your praises poured. Now to our God be glory in the highest' (18th Century)
