Well, praise the Lord, today has been a much better day than as of late! We were able to go to the mini church gathering on campus this morning, get a bunch of reading done, and head to the beach! The waves at Grand Anse were HUGE, so our plans to snorkel were thwarted by murky water; however, we were able to walk along the beach and just be outside and in the beautiful water. It felt great! Praise God that J is feeling much better - still a little tender, but so much better than the past few days [as evidenced by the aforementioned activities :) ] We also got some Christmas music today since all mine was wiped from my computer before we left, and I've felt not very Christmas-y here. I have fallen in love with the following song by Jenny & Tyler...you can preview it on iTunes, or here on Amazon. I warn you, though...you might fall in love with it as much as I have :) And here are the glorious lyrics:
Break forth, O Beauteous Heavenly Light,
and usher in the morning;
Ye shepherds, shrink not with affright,
but hear the angel's warning.
This Child, now weak in infancy,
our confidence and joy shall be,
the power of satan breaking,
our peace eternal making.
Break forth, O Light shine down
Restore, these barren grounds
Behold our Savior now
Break forth O Beauteous Light
Break forth, O Beauteous Heavenly Light,
to herald our Salvation;
He stoops to earth---the God of might,
our hope and expectation.
He comes in human flesh to dwell,
Our God with us, Immanuel,
the night of darkness ending,
our fallen race befriending.
Break forth, O Light shine down
Restore, these barren grounds
Behold our Savior now
Break forth O Beauteous Light
Break forth, O Beauteous Heavenly Light,
and usher in the morning;
Ye shepherds, shrink not with affright,
but hear the angel's warning.
This Child, now weak in infancy,
our confidence and joy shall be,
the power of satan breaking,
our peace eternal making.
Break forth, O Light shine down
Restore, these barren grounds
Behold our Savior now
Break forth O Beauteous Light
Break forth, O Beauteous Heavenly Light,
to herald our Salvation;
He stoops to earth---the God of might,
our hope and expectation.
He comes in human flesh to dwell,
Our God with us, Immanuel,
the night of darkness ending,
our fallen race befriending.
Break forth, O Light shine down
Restore, these barren grounds
Behold our Savior now
Break forth O Beauteous Light
Also, if you want some free streaming of great Christmas music, check out Sojourn's new Christmas "A Child Is Born" album here. We love it, and you can listen to the whole thing all the way through!!! J's favorite is "Go Tell It On The Mountain"...hilarious :)
Continue to pray for us - for full healing for J, and good quality time for both of us :) Love to all!
