In the Season of Christmas
Rushing, rushing through the snow
Christmas bells are ringing
Busy, busy, here we go
Christmas songs were singing
Anxious voices tense and weird
Sing to drive us where we feared
Ding, dong, ding, dong…..
That is not the way this song goes, but all too often this is what we experience. Nate King Cole’s song is one of my favorites and his words soothe the soul in the midst of our hustle and bustle. As we come to celebrate the Christmas Season, take time to enjoy each and every moment. Relax, abide, rest, linger, dwell, pause, repose, recline, and just do nothing.
My family and I are deeply honored by your love and gifts in this holiday season. We have been privileged to serve alongside of you these past eight years, transforming our lives forever. You are our family and we will never forget the gift of yourselves that we have shared. So as we go into a New Year, I leave you singing the real words of this wonderful Christmas Carol
Caroling, caroling now we go
Christmas bells are ringing
Caroling, caroling through the snow
Christmas bells are ringing
Joyous voices sweet and clear
Sing the sad of heart to cheer
Ding, dong, ding, dong
Christmas bells are ringing
Ding, dong, ding, dong
Christmas bells are ringing
