I’m not going back to far at all today for a favorite. Not far at all, Just back to last Wednesday’s post with pictures of the December sky. Earlier, I talked about a high school teacher that I had that encouraged us to embrace the Season. She talked about noticing the night sky and the crispness of the air in December. It made me think of the familiar Christmas carol, Joy to the World – “Let heav’n and nature sing!
Oh, the December nights! Just this past Monday I was talking about how my high school music teacher talked about how special the December sky was!
Here is proof!
Joy to the world, the Lord is come!
Let earth receive her King;
Let every heart prepare Him room,
And Heaven and nature sing,
And Heaven and nature sing,
And Heaven, and Heaven, and nature sing
