I don’t expect anyone but other musicians to understand
this, but I have a love/hate relationship with Sunday. I love the opportunity
to worship our Lord with music. But between being asked every week to play
hymns, prelude and postlude on the organ, accompanying choirs and providing special
numbers in my church and others, Sunday becomes less like a day of rest. When Christmas
falls on the Sabbath, it’s exponentially worse. I’d been grumbling (again) to a
friend about this, and she said something that made me think. Next time
Christmas falls on Sunday is in 2033; eleven years from now! In eleven years,
my grandchildren will be grown. Several family members will probably no longer
be with us. There’s a good chance I won’t be here, either. So, I’ll go to
church with my family tomorrow. I’ll sing and I’ll play and I’ll try to enjoy
every moment. I hope you will, too. Merry Christmas!
