I have always thought that this song was so beautiful. And it brings to light a different aspect of the nativity story that we usually don't think of, and that's the hardships that Mary and Joseph had to go through to bring the Savior into the world. For example, back then, they would have gotten in trouble because Mary was pregnant and they weren't married yet. That's not acceptable like it is today. And while they were traveling to Bethlehem, its very plausible that Mary was already in labor during the journey, and to be unable to find a place to go so she could safely have the baby was a huge heartache for Joseph.
Just a few things to think about while you're celebrating Christmas this year.
Glad! "One Quiet Moment"
(Sorry you have to go to the link to hear it- it's on YouTube. I just haven't figured out the putting movies in the blog post thing yet. I did it once, but that was with Husband Man's help... When I go home this afternoon I'll ask him to teach me again, and edit the post so that you can watch it here.)
I can help you then you can impress husbandman! What you do:
ReplyDeleteYoutube, share video, embed.
Embed will give you a nonsensical code thingy-put that code directly into your post, hit preveiw to make sure it shows (I think you need like the second embed code they offer or something) and then you can post! And voila! Movie shows up. Try it out! Impress techy husband man (my husband man is also a computer geek and I find joy in showing him my small techy successes)
