It's my favorite time of day.
The quiet of an early morning.
The smell of coffee.
And now the sound of Handel. Stirs my heart these Advent mornings.
Brief scripture reading from Cindy Rollins' 25 Days of Christmas With Handel's Messiah before listening to that day's musical selections.
I put Cindy's devotional guide into a printable pdf format with a link to her site. She has also written a book Hallelujah: Cultivating Advent Traditions with Handel's Messiah.
The more I listen, the more in love I fall with this masterpiece as Handel takes us from Isaiah's prophecy in Comfort Ye through the shepherds annunciation and on to glory in Worthy is the Lamb.
