We’ll wrap up our Christmas Brunch by sharing a favorite song played often at our house. Glorious, by Paul Baloche, is not necessarily considered to be a Christmas song, but I feel it is fitting nonetheless. While the phrase “my eyes have seen the glory of the Lord” is being sung, I always picture Simeon in the Temple seeing and blessing the baby Jesus. It also makes me think about what the shepherds might have been thinking when they saw him, or what Mary and Joseph may have been feeling about the night he was born.

His life was glorious. And because of Him, our future is glorious and filled with hope.
