Sarah, who worked as a nurse at the local nursing home, loved to sing Christmas carols.
@
She work up every morning with a song...a Christmas song… in her heart.
@
The Christ-child-in-a-manger-songs. Rudolph-and-Santa songs. Christmas tree-decorating songs. Sweethearts-at-Christmas songs. Christmas wedding songs.
@
The local newspaper learned about Sarah’s love of Christmas songs and wanted to publish a story about her. Sarah agreed to meet Sandra, the newspaper’s ace Christmas reporter, to discuss her love of Christmas songs.
@
Sandra, who immensely enjoyed Christmas songs, too, eagerly anticipated her interview with Sarah. The women met at a Christmas café, which was open year round.
@
Christmas music played softly in the background as Sandra interviewed Sarah. “So why do you enjoy Christmas music so much?,” Sandra asked.
@
“Every time I hear a Christmas song, I think about the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ, and how he came into the world to save us from sin,” Sarah replied.
@
“When did you begin to develop your love of Christmas songs?,” Sandra asked.
@
“Oh, I didn’t develop a love of Christmas music,” Sarah answered. “I was born with the love for it. And when I’m on duty at the nursing home, I can sing Christmas songs to the residents all day long.”
@
“I know what you’re talkin’ about!,” Sandra exclaimed. “I believe the Lord instilled a love of Christmas music in me when I was still in my mother’s womb!”
@
Sandra continued, “My mom even says that when I kicked her she could hear me humming the tune to ‘Silent Night.’”
@
“And my mother tells me that within a few weeks of when I was born, I was crying the tune to the song, “’Away in a Manger,’” Sarah said. “But she says I cried softly, like I was peacefully crying myself to sleep.”
@
“Hey, Sarah,” said Sandra, “I have an idea. “Why don’t we team up and open our own Christmas-themed business?”
@
“That’s a great idea, Sandra,” said Sarah. “What kind of business do you think we should open?”
@
“I’m not sure,” Sandra said. “We probably need to get together a few times and discuss the details. Since we both enjoy Christmas songs so much, one idea might be to incorporate Christmas music into the theme of the business. I do believe we need to make sure the business honors and glorifies the Lord Jesus Christ. After all, He is the reason for the Christmas season!”
@
“Actually,” Sarah replied, “He is the reason for every season!”
@
“Even winter, spring, summer and fall,” laughed Sandra. “The Lord Jesus Christ created them all!”
