Bitter Sweet Moment

Tis the season we think of family.
This morning I was thinking about my mom and  dad and how much I miss them.
I miss mom constantly singing  the Hallelujah Chorus
with my father following her lead and in a low deep voice
singing King of Kings and Lord of Lords
This is my favourite piece of music as I have heard it since I was just a little one.
My heart began to sink knowing mom never knew here on earth that she had a 3rd great grandchild and  my father knowing but never being able to meet him
knowing I won't be tasting moms mince meat pies this Christmas
laughing over Christmas dinner as we wore the silly paper crowns and over tea afterwards, putting together the little toys from the Christmas crackers.
but as always
God prevails when a heart is in pain.
and he does it (with me) with Great Humour
after a good cry and talk with God I went to the computer intending to write
such lovely thankful heart wrenching words about my parents
a tribute of sorts
and an email popped up
 My mother was an absolutely witty funny creative woman and my father, well his humour very dry.
He was her wingman.
God really knows how to turn my Sorrow into Joy
J O Y
yes I am doing the actions  :-)
What an amazing King of Kings and Lord of Lords

I Had A Charlie Brown Moment Today

I had a Charlie Brown moment today
and my inner voice came out
not loudly but enough for someone to hear
The hustle and the bustle can create impatience and the occasional angry outburst.
eg. "What do you mean you don't have anymore of this or that it's Christmas"
Humph stomp out of the store
I was thinking Hello Christmas is less than 2 weeks away and it's not like you didn't know it was coming for the past year
but what came out
was
Isn't there anyone who knows what Chrsitmas is about.
Now the person that heard came over and said
"And Lo an Angel of the Lord came upon them"
I immediately knew the line and where it came from
we giggled
and all was well with the world once again
