Tonight we went to church at Menlo Park Presbyterian Church for Christmas Eve (Eve) Service. It's such a large church, they start services a day early. Steve loved going to Christmas Eve service there. They used to do candles for the entire audience, but now they just have the choir line the aisles with candles. It was still absolutely amazing. The music was beautiful with a mini orchestra and choir. The tree was also beautiful as it was lit in white lights and then had colored lights that were timed with the service and would turn different colors with the colors in the different slides on the screen.
Before we moved to Oregon, we would go to church there and I have fond memories of waiting in line with Steve, his arms wrapped around me. Tonight was perfect and Jeremy and I were joyous to be there worshipping our savior. They sung "Silent Night" at the end of the service with all of the candles lit and it was fitting that it was happening right at 7:30pm, the time we lost Steve one month ago today. Jeremy and I held each other and sang to Jesus. We both had tears because we miss Steve so much, but we know he is waiting for us.
Merry Christmas!
