Angels in May

Had a little time to drink some coffee on the deck and do a tinsy bit of yoga this morning. The dogs and I sat and watched the variety of birds come to the big tree and eat the little seeds. Nice to have birds that aren't just crows in the back yard.=)

As I locked the front door to walk to the metro, a song popped into my head for no particular reason. Couldn't stop singing it! Maybe I was intoxicated from the sweetness of flowers, birds and sunshine. (Malia did say something about the gardenia smelling so good, she wished she could smoke it. . .whole 'nother post!) But it was clear as day in my head. . .
Hark the Herald Angels Sing. No joke. Guess what? The words are not just for Christmas. Check it out. . .



Hark the herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King!
Peace on earth and mercy mild
God and sinners reconciled"
Joyful, all ye nations rise
Join the triumph of the skies
With the angelic host proclaim:
"Christ is born in Bethlehem"
Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King!"

Christ by highest heav'n adored
Christ the everlasting Lord!
Late in time behold Him come
Offspring of a Virgin's womb
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see
Hail the incarnate Deity
Pleased as man with man to dwell
Jesus, our Emmanuel
Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King!"

Hail the heav'n-born Prince of Peace!
Hail the Son of Righteousness!
Light and life to all He brings
Ris'n with healing in His wings
Mild He lays His glory by
Born that man no more may die
Born to raise the sons of earth
Born to give them second birth
Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King!"


Don't want to forget this time in life. So Hard, but so, so Sweet. God is talking to me and answering prayers every single day.

"Light and life to all He brings
Ris'n with healing in His wings"
