O Holy Night, and The Wonder of A Child

The other day I had the pleasure of babysitting Mei-Ling for a couple hours. I was holding her while doing something on the computer, and I was playing some Christmas music at the same time. She was busy playing with her little stuffed toy but when the song O Holy Night played, this tiny one stopped everything and just watched the computer screen, totally in awe at the music and words being sung. Her face was one of pure fascination. The entire song she just sat quietly holding her little dog, never moving. I played the song again for her with the very same reaction. When it was over, she looked at me quizzically and so I played it a 3rd and 4th time for her, always with the same results. It was if she understood the holiness of the song.

No other song held her attention only this one. I snapped this picture while holding her. The awe and wonder shows on her face. What a moment in time for me to share with this little one !
