I'm trying to keep up!

December 6 found us with the folks from our Connect Group in Winter Park at a Carols-in-the-Park event. The Morse Museum of American Art lent a number of Tiffany stained-glass windows for the event that were illuminated around the park. The Bach Festival Choir performed for standing-room-only city park filled with picnic blankets and strollers.

We squeezed in with our friends and enjoyed a range of traditional and contemporary Christmas music. My favorite moment was when the first strains of The Hallelujah Chorus sounded and the entire park came to it's feet. I don't care if the tradition is true or not, or even if it's just because ol' king George needed a potty break. I think it's incredibly worshipful! I love that thousands of other central Florida music lovers willingly participated in something so worshipful, even if they have no idea Who they are worshiping. An interesting site with all the Scripture Handel referenced can be found here.

Enjoying the evening with friends made it all the better and the kids did pretty good even though it was crowded.

I'm not sure but this might be the first time Cora had been around a real horse. Check out her joy.
