Advent Day 18

My favorite Christmas song is “O Holy Night.” I love that song because of the movie Home Alone. A children’s choir is singing that song and during that scene it shows two separate individuals coming into the church, alone, out of the cold to hear the beautiful singing. It shows me God wants us to share music with others, seek comfort in the warmth, you don’t need to be alone, and the connection we can have with others when we have a common interest or when we are enjoying the beauty in the world, whether a song, sunset, or puppy.

I felt God the other day when I was driving and a stranger held up traffic to let me pull out in front of her. It filled me with warmth and led me to want to do something nice for someone else. Little bits of humanity I can look for in my everyday life fill me with God’s love.
