Come to Bethlehem and see Him whose birth the angels sing;

Come, adore on bended knee, Christ the Lord, the newborn King.

Gloria in excelsis Deo.

The shepherds went back, singing praises to God for all they had heard and seen: it had been just as the angels had told them.

When the shepherds returned to their flock of sheep after seeing the baby Jesus, do you think they may have been singing Gloria in Excelsis Deo? The same song they heard the angels singing.

Sometimes a sing gets into your head and you can’t stop yourself from singing it. The song may make you happy, it may make you sad, or it may have you remembering someone you love. I truly believe God likes to hear us sing. He doesn’t care how we sound, it just makes Him happy. It doesn’t matter whether we are singing about Him, singing a popular jungle or a lullaby to soothe a crying baby. Sing it loud and proud God and you are enjoying it and He loves to hear you sing.

Prayer: Dear God we have so many reasons to sing your praises. As this Christmas season draws near help us to be grateful for all you do for us. Always remembering Your son Jesus is the true reason for this season of great joy for over 2000 years. Amen
