It is the season to, as my friend Peter sings, “Sing Joy,”
This season, I “Sing Joy” for all that Grandma and Pa gave us,
The stories, the food, the island 90 miles north of cuba, and so much else
So let’s live out the season with all the joy they did and…
“Sing Joy” for each other
“Sing Joy” for that strange island full of people who loved them and love us
“Sing Joy” for Christmas eve dinner, café con leche, and key lime pie
“Sing Joy” for all the animals in the manger, Christmas decorations, and the elves in the yard
“Sing Joy” for Christmas cookies, fresh Christmas trees, and candles on snowy nights
“Sing Joy” for postal workers and retail workers, especially at Sears, who will work harder than ever this season
“Sing Joy” for the technology that keeps us together and for the time we spend together
“Sing Joy” for the bits and pieces of Grandma and Pa we see in each other and in Ryan
“Sing Joy” for the child born in Bethlehem who’s face they have seen
And…
“SING JOY” for our guardian angels and all the love the continue to give us!
“Sing Joy” by Peter Mayer, Little Flock Music
