Infant Holy, Infant Lowly

Infant holy, infant lowly,
for His bed a cattle stall;
oxen lowing, little knowing
Christ, the babe, is Lord of all.
Swift are winging angels singing,
noels ringing, tidings bringing:
Christ the babe is Lord of all!

Flocks were sleeping, shepherds keeping
vigil till the morning new
saw the glory, heard the story,
tidings of the gospel true.
Thus rejoicing, free from sorrow,
praises voicing, greet the morrow:
Christ the babe was born for you.

- attributed to Piotrowi Skardze; translated by Edith M. G. Reed

30-Day Giving Challenge 2024 - Week 5

I am thankful this year for being able to take time to focus on being grateful. I'm also enjoying being able to purposefully focus on giving to others. Here are some of the opportunities I had this past week.

Wednesday - donated to the Henrietta Lacks Foundation
Thursday - donated to Together for Good
Friday - sponsored a wreath to be laid at the grave of a veteran
Saturday - donated to the Salvation Army

I've enjoyed taking extra time during November to focus on others. I'm thankful for the opportunities I've had to hopefully make someone's day just a little brighter. As we move into December may you know the joy that this season brings.
