Go Tell It On The Mountain....

Well, Christmas is over, and for us POM's it usually is a hard time. 

For some of us, our kids are on the other side of the world, and we missed the holiday time with them. I'm sure we all shed a few tears. 

For some who were fortunate to have their family with them, they are trying to stuff every memory they can into this holiday. It's these memories that will keep them going next year. 

I thought often of last year this year. I looked at many of my Christmas photo's from last year, they made me smile. They made me thankful. They made me cry. 

For me, focusing on the spiritual aspect of my kids lives always helps me because the emotional reality can be so overwhelming, and even though I recognize the feelings and feel them,  I try not to dwell on them. 

This year the song, Go Tell It On the Mountain, kept coming to my mind.  It's not one of my favorites, but how appropriate as I prayed for my children this Christmas Day and thought about their work. 

refrain  

Go, tell it on the mountain, 

Over the hills and everywhere  

Go, tell it on the mountain

That Jesus Christ is born.

Oh Zion, that brings good tidings, 

get thee up into the high mountain;

O Jerusalem, that brings good tidings, 

lift up thy voice with strength; 

lift it up, be not afraid ; 

say unto the cities of Judah, 

BEHOLD YOUR GOD!!! 

Isaiah 40:9 

Oh Lord Jesus, 

I ask that the world would know You; 

on the mountains or in the valleys

wherever our missionary children are serving,that

those they work with would see and hear, and

understand the truth of the unsearchable riches 

of Jesus Christ our Lord. 

We humbly praise You and thank you for allowing 

our children to serve you in this way, and we 

thank you for the lives you have given us as

their parents.
