Happy Birthday Jesus


I have been meaning to post this for a while now and time just keeps getting away from me! Back in December our choir at church did a Christmas concert. We packed John-Isaac's "church bag" with all the things that keep him occupied, just in case he didn't want to sit perfectly still and listen to the music! For the first part of the concert he looked through his magazines and was very good, but didn't really pay attention to the choir. Toward the end they sang a song called "Happy Birthday Jesus". It is a beautiful song that always brings a tear to my eye. It features a child soloist singing to Jesus. John-Isaac immediately perked up and started listening with undivided attention. It was so sweet! As the song was coming to an end John-Isaac started clapping. He looked at me and said, "Mom, wasn't that fantastic!" I thought I had just heard the most beautiful words ever in that song, but I was wrong! The most beautiful words of the night came from John-Isaac's mouth!
