Glad's a cappella Christmas album is one of my favorites. The song, "One Quiet Moment" is one I play over and over. It is always on my Christmas playlist.
There are not many quiet moments in the Christmas season. It feels like a dead run from Thanksgiving to New Year's Eve. The busyness of the season is not what I want to remember. I want to remember the special moments spent with loved ones celebrating and making new memories.
I want to reminisce about the sweetness of Christmases when the kids were little. I want to savor... not lose the sacredness of the season. I want to remember the ordinary man and his precious bride trekking to Bethlehem to pay their taxes, knowing a baby could arrive at any time on their journey.
I don't want to forget that they said "Yes" to God's plan, forsaking their own agendas and desires. Their decisions came in the quiet moments. Their obedience had to come from a place of trust.
When things go wrong, we can still trust the author! Mary did. Joseph did.
Today, I am grateful for "One Quiet Moment."
