Isaiah 9:6
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Although Jesus didn't say these words, they were said about him by Isaiah. Every year we attend Handel's MESSIAH. It has been a family tradition for 38 years for me and about 55 years for Rick. He started attending with his family when he was a little boy. His dad, Vern, loved, loved, loved listening to Messiah, year round. We all know it by heart. We attended the Sing-a-long this year with the Utah Symphony at Abravanel Hall. Although Vern is now gone, Pat usually attends and she loves it as well. She was still in CA for Thanksgiving, so we went with Rick's sister and BIL, Jordan and her daughters and R. Four generations love this great work. Our children try and see the presentation where ever they live. Andy reported that he and Chelsea would see it performed this year in LA. The tradition continues.

And what a great tradition it is. There is no better music than this. Truly this work was inspired by God.
