Heavenly Songs

A big red bow adorned her hair, and Rose wore her new spectacles, their very first time to experience the annual performance of Handel's "Messiah" by the Oratorio and Symphony. We stood with the audience as the beginnings of the Halleluiah Chorus started; the sound of the seats, as the people stood, reverberated throughout the auditorium. I love it. Every year I love it the same, but yet even more. And I assured them they would too.




I must say the promised doughnuts added extra sweetness as we continued to enjoy our late night out.



And afterward we rode to see the Christmas lights decorated along the residential streets. There were times I felt as if I was in a canopy of colorful stars all dazzling and bright,

suspended in the heavens.


And He shall reign forever and ever...
Halleluiah

I haven't been able to see it live in years, but every year I enjoy listening to the entire oratorio on CD.

It sounds like it was a wonderful evening! I love the bow in Rose's hair!

Blessings!
