I was there

I have always known that I was at Christ's birth but yesterday I had the privilege of really knowing that truth. There is such a difference in knowing something in your mind and knowing it in your heart.

The ward choir (with me) sang "Was I There" in our Christmas program. The song goes, "Was I there in a chorus of angels when he came? Did I cry out from heaven, glory to His name?" Suddenly, my body knew I had been there. My spirit remembered and I knew the joy I felt when I sang with the angelic chorus praising Jesus and rejoicing in His birth.

Reliving that joy was a tender mercy from Christ that I am truly grateful for during this holiday season when I again celebrate the miracle of Christ's birth.
