Angels heard on high

Luke 2(KJV) ¹³And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,

 ¹⁴Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.


This Christmas I actually heard them. 


The angels.  I actually heard them sing.


My heart burst with joy as I watched in wonder my oldest daughter giving birth to her second child, a son. I felt my soul travel across time 2000 years to a manger in Bethlehem and another young mother who held her newborn son, our Emanuel.


I held my grandson nuzzling his fuzzy little forehead, gazing into the dark pools of his eyes filled with hope and promise having just seen the face of God. Then, I heard them. 


Angels. Heavenly hosts.


Singing of God's glory. Bringing me good will and peace.


Praise God, the angels didn't come just once 2000 years ago.  They come again and again and again.


Do you hear them?
