This is one of my favorite Christmas songs! I agree; Joseph is often overlooked, but was given such a grand opportunity. I love the way the song explores how he might have felt.
ReplyDeleteMy feelings exactly! :D
DeleteOh my gosh, this is beautiful! :') Wow, I've never really thought much about how Joseph felt . . . Wow. :') kaldjfkal. I never thought of these things! XD <3 What a beautiful song, as well. <3 That is just gorgeous! :') <3
ReplyDeleteHmm, my favourite Christmas song would be Mary, Did You Know? (I love Pentatonix's version). But I also love O Holy Night. Have you heard either of them? :D
This was so beautiful!
Glad you enjoyed it!
DeleteAnd yes, I've listened to them! They are really good. :)
Wow, that IS beautiful. And I totally agree with what you said about Joseph being overlooked. I heard a song recently that mentioned the fact that Mary and Joseph both knew that her baby was not his, and still he stuck with her and they got through it. And even though the angel confirmed to Joseph that the baby was indeed what Mary said it was, it still couldn't have been easy for him to accept that. Not to believe it, but to really accept that his fiancée was pregnant (not to mention HOW it happened to her and WHO that baby is) and how hugely that would change their life together. And I've always admired Mary and thought about what kind of a person she must have been for God to trust her with carrying Jesus, but lately I've been thinking about Joseph too and the person he must have been to be trusted with being a husband to Mary and a father to Jesus.
ReplyDeleteThe whole story is just so beautiful. There's such a magic that comes with the Christmas story, that to me nothing else matches. I honestly love it so much.
Have you ever seen the movie The Nativity Story? Bible movies aren't really my thing for the most part (I know, that sounds really bad, but I would much prefer to read them), but I really enjoy watching that movie every year. I think it's a lovely adaptation of the Christmas story, and I love the way Mary and Joseph are portrayed.
One, so sorry it took me so long to reply to this! For some reason, blogger marked it as spam and I didn't see it till now.
DeleteBut to FINALLY reply, YES. Agreeing 100%. They both must have been truly, truly incredible people. And I LOVE THE NATIVITY STORY! Honestly, it's a big part of what opened my eyes to how truly beautiful the Christmas story is <3
