“Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, ‘Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.'” Luke 2:13-14 NIV
I have Famous on video crooning with me. I suppose his singing is a little more like a howl, but it is a high pitch “ooooh”, very similar to Snoopy when he is howling at the moon in his cartoon. Famous even rounds his lips to produce the “ooh” sounds. In truth, he is probably expressing more irritation than pleasure. Still, it grabs my attention.
Music is one of the special parts of Christmas celebrations. Often music helps to convey messages which words alone would leave ambiguous or shallow. Music unites our voices in a way shouting and cheering could never achieve. The angels needed such a vehicle to celebrate the birth of the Messiah. Famous needs it to announce his participation in my life.
Teach me to sing the angel chorus, “Gloria, in excelsis deo!“
