You likely know the praise song that begins . . .
“Open our eyes, Lord … we want to see Jesus . . . ”
While I really cannot sing, that’s the melody that was playing in my head on a recent Sunday morning, and continued to play in it through much of the day.
Why this tune? I do not know. I hadn’t heard anyone sing it or mention it in a long time. So, I must conclude that God placed it there, to remind me that now, more than any other time … whether the time of year or the time we’ve come to, where the world seems to be facing ever greater turmoil … where my focus needs to be. 
Therefore, “Open our eyes, Lord” so that we may see Jesus, the Christ, more clearly through the coming of Christmas and the celebration of His birth … the birth of the child of love, hope and peace … and that He may become more than ever, for those of us who call ourselves followers of Him and His teachings, our #1 focus at this Christmastime 2014.
From all of us at enLighten and Sirius XM Radio, here’s wishing you and yours a joyous and blessed Christmas!
Then, as we enter a new year on the calendar … that we march forward into it, hand in hand, carrying His “lights,” to be His lights, showing that there is hope … when following the one who came to be the Savior of the world.
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
