Music is a lifeline to the soul. I believe that full well.
"'Tis the season to be Jolly." Isn't that what John Ceiriog Hughes penned in 1862? But what if you find yourself this Christmas feeling the least bit Jolly?
Many are feeling the heartache of a loved one's passing. The grief pressed heavily upon the chest. Beloved's fallen ill as they lay in their hospital beds. Or a diagnosis that has brought fear and trepidation.
I am there with you holding you up in prayer onto the anchor of Hope. May you experience a Faith renewed in the love of those who surround you. May you find Joy in the Beauty of the Season. May Peace flow through the course of your veins.
Music nourishes a hungry soul. Where words fall short, music articulates. It is a magnificent gift that reflects our feelings and helps us move on to the next. "I will incline my ear to a proverb; I will solve my riddle to the music of the lyre." ~Psalm 49:4 ESV
So, turn on the music and up the volume high. Soak it in and sing it out. I won't judge. Oh, what a sweet release.
"Music should strike fire from the heart of man and bring tears from the eyes of woman." ~ Ludwig van Beethoven
“Music produces a kind of pleasure which human nature cannot do without.” ~ Confucius
