We were so excited to be there and the sound was wonderful but because we were struggling to see, we decided we’d move to some empty seats at the end of our row until whoever owned the seats could claim them.
Here is where I took a couple of pictures like this. The music just kept getting better and better with the Isaacs, and we had heard that Mark Lowry was joining them. Now I know this isn’t everybody’s type of music, but I want you to know it was so sweet to sing old hymns and Christmas carols together. Just one problem now: we were freezing! We had on jackets knowing it would be cold as it was a 70+ degree weather day, and they had the air down to about subzero in the place. So, we sat on our hands and sang and sometimes clapped and neither one of us got any frostbite. But then an angel tapped us on the shoulder (she may have been an usher, but God was smiling, I have no doubt) and said, “I just got these tickets down front. Would you like them?” We said, “Sure. ” And we jumped up and followed her down to the SECOND row, just about fifteen minutes into the show, and Mark Lowry was up next. You know what he sang. Oh, yes he did! “Mary Did You Know.” And we finally got all warm and neither of us had a dry eye. Now, the goosebumps were just from such beautiful music.
