‘O Holy Night’ ( Andre Rieu)

It used to be, whenever I went to my aunts’ house around Christmastime,  they were watching this guy on television–Andre Rieu, with his Johann Strauss Orchestra. They loved him.

Well, now I can’t go there anymore. The very house has been torn down and replaced, no sign remaining that it ever existed, and they’ve all gone on before, leaving but a few of us on the earth. Aunt Joan is the last of us in her generation.

I will not forget. Hard for me to watch this video, but I wouldn’t want to miss it: the happy times that were shall be again, in Christ’s Kingdom. God has promised it.

By Request: Andre Rieu, ‘Amazing Grace’

Wow! Linda, thank you so much for this contribution–Andre Rieu and his orchestra, performing Amazing Grace.

My aunts all loved Andre Rieu, and hearing this brought back wonderful memories of Christmas-time at their house. But even without these memories, the beauty of this hymn moves me to tears.

Tomorrow is Aunt Joan’s birthday, and I should be well enough to go and see her then. I wish I could play this for her.
