THE GREAT AMERICAN SONGBOOK

RICHARD RODGERS

TOO MANY GIRLS

This was the 1939 musical that introduced Desi Arnaz to the world. The star of the movie version would be Lucille Ball, which is another amazing fact. Eddie Bracken and Van Johnson were also in the cast.

”GIVE IT BACK TO THE INDIANS”

Lee was way ahead of her time. She worked the jazz of the 1930s like Bobby Short would work the 1960s onward.

The Giver’s Delight

Bible in a Year:

• Micah 4–5
• Revelation 12

Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.

Luke 2:11

Remember Tickle Me Elmo? Cabbage Patch Kids? The Furby? What do they have in common? Each rank among the twenty most popular Christmas gifts of all time. Also included on the list are familiar favorites such as Monopoly, the Nintendo Game Boy, and Wii.

We all delight in giving gifts at Christmas, but that’s nothing compared to God’s delight in giving the first Christmas gift. This gift came in the form of a baby, born in a Bethlehem manger (Luke 2:7).

Despite His humble birth, the Child’s arrival was proclaimed by an angel who declared, “I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord” (vv. 10–11). Following this magnificent news, a “heavenly host” appeared, “praising God and saying, ‘Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests’” (vv. 13–14).

This Christmas, enjoy giving gifts to your loved ones, but never lose sight of the reason for the giving—the spectacular favor of God on His creation crystallized in the gift of His own Son to save us from our sin. We give because He gave. May we worship Him in gratitude!

Reflect & Pray

Why is Jesus the greatest Christmas gift you ever received? How can you share this gift with others more effectively?

Father, thank You for Jesus—the greatest gift of all!

Thanks Kathy!

One of my all-time favorite song writers/singers died 12 years ago this month.
