A Christmas Eve Blessing

December 24
 
It is Christmas Eve and we are to give the “moment of sharing”  at First Church of Christ in Wethersfield, Ct. Joy has a bad case of laryngitis. We pray hard.

At the 5:30 service she is barely audible.  We pay harder.

 By the 7:30 her voice is a little louder. We give thanks and ask for continued strength.

At the 9:30 service her voice is stronger.We praise the Lord for His faithfulness.

At midnight she sounds like herself. I share wit h that congregation how the Lord has been answering our prayers this evening. There is applause for God.
 
Driving home Joy turns  to speak. Her voice is completely gone. It doesn’t return for two days.

 
"With men this is impossible but with God all things are possible." (Matthew 19:26)
