Here’s this week’s Real News of Inspiration from Lancaster Online’s Joan Kern
Can you imagine not being able to communicate verbally? For Molly Hess of Manheim Township, it isn’t hard. She was born with cerebral palsy, which limits her ability to communicate, talk and feed herself. She is able to show how much she enjoys her favorite Christian Musician Nicole C Mullen by singing along. For her 18th birthday, her father Don, decided to take a long shot and contact the artist about playing for his daughter’s birthday. Nicole was free and said she would honored. The Hess’s church helped raise all the money to make the concert free for Molly’s family and anyone who was able to attend. Don Hess commented, “She loves music, and she loves to smile.”

JOHN SHIRK – One definition of praise is to joyfully thank and adore God.
There are many expressions of praise among God’s people surrounding the birth of Jesus.
Mary, the mother of Jesus, said, “My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.”
Zechariah, the father of John the Baptist said, “Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, because he has come and has redeemed his people.”
The heavenly host said, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests.”
And after seeing Jesus, the shepherds returned to their fields, glorifying and praising God for what they had heard and seen.
This Christmas season is an opportunity for us to praise God for His precious gift of grace available through Jesus Christ.
Praise is a quality that enables us to represent Jesus in the world today.

STACEY GAGNE – Each year at Christmas we play a song that receives a lot of attention and get TONS of requests from people for the information about it. The “Carol of the Fryers” is the song. For the longest time we didn’t have much of an answer for how to find it or where. We knew that it was a novelty song that had come on a compilation CD in the 90s, but did not remember where. I have done online searches in the past, but recently I found the answer. It’s still going to be hard to get a hold of, but here’s one link and track listing for the CD…

Mystery Solved!
JOHN SHIRK – To have a sense of wonder is to marvel or have a feeling of awe or admiration.
Sometimes, we see the glitter in the eyes of children enjoying the Christmas season with a sense of wonder.
The first child to capture the wonder of the true meaning of Christ’s birth was John the Baptist. His response to the presence of Jesus is recorded for us in Luke 1, verse 41. He leaped in his mother’s womb. Even before John the Baptist was born, he was filled and moved by the Holy Spirit.
The example of John the Baptist reminds us that the birth of Jesus is a reason to jump for joy with a sense of wonder. We are not alone. Immanuel has come. God is with us. Through the gift of Jesus, we have the opportunity to experience God’s peace and grace forever.
Wonder is a character quality that enables us to represent Jesus in the world today.
