A Blessing To Me

I feel compelled to share with everyone a very important event in my life which happens every year. Every year I am given the opportunity to participate in a wonderful Easter choir. One in which my great aunt wrote the narrative too. Through inspiration, she passed it on to a member of her ward and from there on, it grew in to an amazing performance.

It grew from a ward (church) choir to something much larger - complete with professional soloists, an orchestra and a professional actor who reads the narrative.

I love doing it and feel so grateful that we are given this opportunity ever year.

This year was exceptionally difficult because I was not feeling well. It almost didn't happen for me, but I stuck it out and with many prayers was able to perform. My heart is full and I must share with you the joy that fills my heart.

- Loves Greatest Gift

The singer who sings the part of Mary (Heather), flies in every year from Georgia. This year, when coming in to town strained her back to the point of unbearable pain. She went to the chiropractor and took some meds so that she was able to perform.

She almost didn't do it. We had a back-up singer, but she was determined to do it. You could hear the pain in her voice. She is an amazing woman. I was so proud of her.

We pulled it off this year, but they are thinking about not doing it next year because a lot of the people in the orchestra are moving away. With your prayers, I hope that this will not be the case and that this Cantata will go on for years to come.

Here is my personal tribute to that Easter choir -

Love's Greatest Gift.

I hope you enjoy! :D
