Back To The 80s
The Cradle Song of the Virgin--Dick Haymes, with the Song Spinners (1944)
Hi Everybody!
(((HUGS)))
One of those humming is the unknown and uncredited Bing Crosby, at the start of his career.
It's Tunes For Our Troops!
A flash in Walter Winchell's column says, "Santa Claus is on his way!"
I discovered this only a few months ago. I had previously heard it when I had it on a 45-rpm disc during Eisenhower's presidency.
1945 Mother Goose Rhymes--Carson Robison (1945)
Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way.
Oh, what fun, when the Germans run
From a great big Russian sleigh, hey!
Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Look at them Russians grin!
They're dreaming of a Red Christmas
Marching through Berlin!

Bible in a Year :
Encourage one another and build each other up.
I’m not sure who’s responsible for turning out the lights and locking up the church after our Sunday morning service, but I know one thing about that person: Sunday dinner is going to be delayed. That’s because so many people love to hang around after church and talk about life decisions, heart issues and struggles, and more. It’s a joy to look around twenty minutes after the service and see so many people still enjoying each other’s company.
Fellowship is a key component of the Christlike life. Without the connectivity that comes from spending time with fellow believers, we’d miss out on many benefits of being a believer.
For instance, Paul says we can “encourage one another and build each other up” (1 Thessalonians 5:11). The author of Hebrews agrees, telling us not to neglect getting together, because we need to be “encouraging one another” (10:25). And the writer also says that when we’re together, we “spur one another on toward love and good deeds” (v. 24). .
Reflect & Pray
What benefits do you gain from being with believers? How can you help others experience fellowship in Christ?
Dear God, please help me to be a “fellowshiper”—one who generously encourages others in love and compassion.
