On Sunday night this past weekend, we took the kids to see "The Living Christmas Tree. "This event is put on by the church my husband and I met at in town. It is the seventh season; and surely was the "perfect" production this year.
This is a very tall (several stories high) board, garland and light, tree which has tiers of persons standing within, singing the story of Christ's birth. The music and lights were phenomenal. This year's musical selection was my favorite thus far (we have been several times). In the past, the pastor of the church had read from Luke throughout the performance, accentuating the songs and carols. This year, the scripture was put to music and taken from not only Luke but also John, Isaiah, Psalms and others. What an incredible blessing of praise and joy and thanksgiving to our Lord.
I am so grateful that the Methodist Church in our community has offered this each year. I was working at the church the year the idea was pitched and the costs were discussed. It involved tremendous investment up front, but the fruits have more than been worth it. What a blessing to our Lord ~ orchestra, band and song all wrapped up in praising Him hour after hour, day after day. Thank you, dear sweet participants, for your gift of time and love. We were blessed.

Sean and I went to a couple of Living Christmas Tree performances at our first church...before we were Christians. It was spectacular indeed.
God does incredible things, if you just trust Him, doesn't He?
Your blog really blesses me, Christie. Praise the Lord!
