Some people are gifted with the ability to play musical instruments; others are gifted with the ability to play the radio.

When Mary and Joseph brought Jesus to Jerusalem to be presented in the Temple, there they encountered Simeon who had long been listening for the music of the Messiah. Finally over the noise of the crowds and chaos, he heard it! What did he hear? Do you hear what he heard? And what should we be listening for as we enter into a new year?
