Lew and I just returned from the Christmas Eve service at our church. It is always one of my favorite services of the year.
Tonight we had a bit of a startle, though. About half-way through the service, PD announced that one of his favorite new Christmas songs is "Mary, Did You Know?" and that Lew and Tracy were going to come up and sing it now.
Lew and Tracy....well, uh, that's my husband and I.
We sang this song during the morning services on the first Sunday of Advent, and we've had an opportunity to sing it at a couple choir events since then. But tonight was an (unintended) surprise, as nobody had asked us ahead of time!
PD must have seen that we were unaware of our participation, and he looked over at Melodie. Apparently each thought that the other had mentioned it to us.
Our church family enjoyed this spontaneous drama that was being played out right before their eyes. It certainly added some levity to the evening!
And the happy ending....
PD still had our background music from when we sang it at the choir events. He asked if we would come up and sing the song, despite the "on the spot" notice. And we did. (Smile....)
Merry Christmas!
