Christmas Eve Worship - Family Service. Our kids tell the Christmas story, through a walking narrative, intermixed with hymns. As we get to the story of Mary and Elizabeth, Mary is supposed to sing her story, the Magnificat from Holden Evening Prayer. However, she didnt want to sing, so I sang. As I sing (if you have the tune in your head), The angel said to her, rejoice o highly favored, for God is with you. You shall bear a child, and his name shall be Jesus, the chosen one of God most high, I am cut off, by our 4 yr old. She runs to the front pew, says Oh, I know where he is!, and grabs the baby Jesus doll and puts him in my arms. I lost it with laughter. She was listening to the song...knew the angel was promising the baby...and she was there to help out. Definitely a servant of the Lord even if it ruined my solo ;).
