Hallelujah!

 

 It was a first for us--my sisters and me

 and their husbands...

 We sang from the balcony of this beautiful Lutheran  church.

 I went with my humble, personal copies

of the oratorio.

I noticed a great variety of covers 

among those used by my fellow musicians.

After posting mine on Facebook this morning,

my friend sent a photo
of her two copies

to which I responded,

I find the covers of the Messiah so interesting...

No matter their age, they are "dignified" somehow; 

suited for their significant content.

***

No sooner were the words typed

than I realized this is true about more than Messiah covers!

It is a Life Lesson!  A goal, as it were...

Lord, let my outward appearance--my cover--be similarly "dignified";

suited for my significant content...

for indeed I contain the Light of Jesus Christ Himself! 

Hallelujah!
