December 11
Day 15
Listen to: “Heavenly Hosts” by King & Country
As I listened to this song it a new idea occurred to me, a new reason why the angels may have been sent to proclaim and sing and worship at the birth of Jesus… to show us how. By the time Jesus was born humanity was so far removed from face to face contact with God, and I wonder if the angels also came to remind and show us how to worship, how to respond, to God with us.
As you listen to the angel songs this Advent, let them teach you to praise and worship the God with us.
Activity with Kids:
If the angels came to announce Jesus’ birth AND to show us how to worship…what can we learn about worship from the Angels? Practice one thing you learned.
Move the angels forward one note.
