Now I am not sure my children would understand this sentiment but let me tell you. . . . Yesterday I was having a bad day and feeling angry, frustrated, and useless and then it occurred to me that I could simply call my mom. A few rings and there she was, full of support and sympathy and wisdom. I have always been able to talk with her and feel comforted and reassured by her words, as far as I can remember back in my memory. I know that everyone does not have this kind of relationship with their mothers and it's a pity because it's a wonderful thing.
Tonight is the Messiah Sing Along! I am so excited! I'm not sure what my favorite part is: I love hearing the drums boom along with "Wonderful, Counselor, the Mighty God, the Everlastin
g Father, the Prince of Peace." And of course I adore the Hallelujah chorus. I also really like "And he will purify the sons of Levi that they may offer unto the Lord an offering in righteousness." But I think the most personally moving part of the experience is when we all sing, repetitively in parts, "All we like sheep have gone astray, we have turned every one to his own way," and then it ends with the slowly sung truth of our salvation, "And the Lord hath laid on Him the iniquity of . . .us . . . all." I will probably bawl through the whole thing. I hope I don't see anyone I know!
