I love that. 44:59 I'm thinking about my children, you know, like you said. 45:02 Well, absolutely. Beautiful. 45:04 Thank you. Beautiful. 45:06 One of the things that, you know, 45:08 we don't often consider is like 45:12 what did we do at Christmas time? 45:14 What's your favorite thing that you did, 45:17 your favorite Christmas memory? 45:19 Let's kind of go round and talk about 45:21 our favorite Christmas memories. 45:22 What's your favorite one, Dan? 45:24 Oh, I liked it all, you know, 45:26 I was young, we have big family, 45:27 we were five kids and mom and dad 45:29 but my dad was disable, 45:31 so we were poor, so we didn't have anything. 45:33 So what we would do, is we would, 45:35 my brothers and I were just kids, 45:36 we'd just put names in a hat and you draw out a name 45:40 and that's who you got a little present for so. 45:42 I remember my brother Ken and I was just got in high school 45:45 and we didn't want to buy each other gifts, 45:47 so we happen to draw each other's name, 45:49 so we just called it even. 45:51 We shoot cans in that way we did it in. 45:54 But it's a family time and having folks 45:57 who love Jesus and though we were poor, 46:00 we had a lot of love in the house. 46:01 I wouldn't trade it. 46:03 I've seen situations the other way round 46:05 where there is not any love, 46:06 but they seem to have all other things, 46:07 but it's a closeness that you bring together 46:10 and then always about the Lord Jesus Christ. 46:12 You know, our folks never let us 46:14 concentrate on the physical things around, 46:17 but they'd always say there is only one reason 46:20 for this season as you know and that's Jesus Christ. 46:23 So I love it, it brings back the warm memories, 46:27 I'm sure as all of us here. 46:29 Yes, what about you, Neville? 46:31 What was your favorite Christmas memory? 46:34 Well, it's interesting that you would say 46:36 that because I... 46:40 It has something to do with my voice and with singing. 46:45 My favorite Christmas memory was when I rediscovered 46:48 that I actually could sing 46:51 in my freshmen year of high school. 46:55 You didn't know until then you could sing? 46:58 When I was a kid... 46:59 Have mercy. When I was... 47:00 Maybe I'm, and hey, it's not too late for me. 47:02 I'm starting to get excited now here. 47:05 Maybe today I'll start singing 47:06 and it will just sound like him, 47:07 I'm realizing, maybe yeah. 47:10 Oh, when I was about... 47:11 But just got to have patience. Sorry. 47:12 When I was about five or six, 47:14 I used to sing in church a lot 47:15 and I really enjoyed it 47:17 but I got tease from my friends, 47:18 you know, they... 47:20 Oh. 47:21 So I stopped for a long time. 47:23 I just never sang, you know, 47:25 and so when I came to high school now 47:30 and I'm a freshman in high school, 47:33 I on a whim just decided that 47:35 I would sing silent night 47:36 at the Christmas program and so I did. 47:39 And I was really like amazed that the response 47:44 that I got because all I, 47:45 you know, I remembered being teased like. 47:48 So once I got that response I was like, you know what? 47:51 This might be a good career option. 47:54 This could be a good career option for me. 47:56 So had I not had that experience, 47:58 I probably might have not even been here today. 48:00 So that's probably my favorite Christmas memory. 48:02 Oh, it's great. Wonderful. 48:03 Oh, great. Thanks. 48:05 Shirley, what about you? 48:07 Oh, my, well, 48:08 my favorite memories have to do with spending time 48:15 with my dad 48:18 and with him and my siblings, 48:22 we spend our holiday Christmas time giving. 48:27 Daddy is no longer with us, he's deceased, 48:33 but that memory lives on and so, 48:36 this time of the year is particularly special for me 48:39 as I recount, relived those moments, 48:43 you know, we traveled often, 48:44 he was a missionary and we, 48:47 wherever we went, 48:49 this was what we did during this time 48:53 and I continue to do that, so that's my special place. 48:57 Oh, that's great. 48:59 John? 49:00 Well, my biggest Christmas memories 49:03 or favorite Christmas memories surround music, 49:05 of course, I'm like Neville, 49:07 but I remember, anybody remember record players? 49:09 Oh, yes. 49:11 There were certain records that only came out 49:14 at Christmas time. 49:16 So I would always look forward to those times, 49:18 the old Big Bang Records, 49:19 we listen to our big bang music in my house 49:21 so that was special. 49:22 And we did something, 49:24 did anybody else decorate your house 49:27 with the Christmas cards from the previous year? 49:29 Is that just me? Okay. 49:30 From the previous year? 49:32 From the previous year, so my mother would collect 49:33 whenever we received Christmas card, 49:35 she would keep them and then, yeah, 49:37 we lived in this little row house in Philadelphia 49:39 and she would decorate the arches by taping up... 49:42 Okay. 49:43 You know, that was part of the decorations 49:45 along with the other decorations. 49:46 But that just always stood out to me 49:48 because I though that was such a unique thing. 49:50 So those were two of the things that stood out for me. 49:52 Oh, that's great. 49:53 Growing after the Christmas. 49:55 Lyndon? 49:56 Oh, you know, what I'm gonna say. 49:57 Mine revolves around food. 49:59 Food. Yeah. 50:02 My mom used to make the best orange rolls. 50:05 But now that I am getting older, 50:08 I just had my daughter and then my son, 50:11 so those Christmas memories are just like 50:15 solidified in my mind 50:16 more than ever, than any other memory 50:18 just having my kids. 50:20 Oh, that's great. 50:22 Angela, what about you? 50:23 I've the piggy bag off of Lyndon 50:24 'cause I love decent food. 50:26 Okay. Yeah. 50:27 And as a child I remember me, my mom and my sister, 50:30 we will be in the kitchen 50:32 all night the night before Christmas baking palm cake, 50:35 that's my specialty, 50:36 she taught me my southern roots. 50:38 All right. 50:39 All right. All right. 50:40 And corn bread stuff. Oh. 50:42 Look at her, she's living it... 50:43 You can't cheat, you got to start from scratch. 50:46 But no, Christmas was about good, 50:49 that comfort food as well as singing. 50:52 My mom and my sister and myself, 50:54 we sang in the trio, 50:55 and so it was always singing those carols, 50:58 and getting back to the roots, 51:00 the traditional way of singing and it was great. 51:02 I remember good food, 51:04 good music and just good times. 51:06 Oh, that's great. 51:07 Den, what about you? 51:09 See my mom passed away two years ago at 92, 51:13 that ain't bad, she made it to 92 51:15 and just a memories of the family 51:18 always being together, my grandmother, 51:20 my aunts, my uncles 51:22 and I'm grateful to say that I'm from a Christian family 51:26 because recently I found, I went back to Detroit, 51:29 I came back and I found this picture 51:32 that my mother had and it was, 51:34 let's see, maybe 300 little kids 51:37 sitting in Sunday school 51:40 and in the very back at the room 51:42 was my mom holding me. 51:44 Okay. All right. 51:45 So just those, just those times 51:48 with my family always being together. 51:50 Yeah. 51:51 Yeah, we would do, we cook, we go to church and just, 51:53 you know, just the family being together, 51:55 and the other thing on the other note, 51:58 the chipmunks singing the great Christmas song. 52:01 Christmas, Christmas time is here. 52:02 Oh, my God, that did it to me. Yes. 52:07 Oh, that's good, that's good. 52:08 Yvonne? I have a couple. 52:11 One was the family thing of course, 52:14 'cause that's when my whole family 52:17 lived in one complex 52:19 when I was growing up in Queens, New York 52:21 and when I was, till I was about 10 and so, 52:25 we would get together and there would be music 52:27 and of course, food 'cause I'm a foodie too. 52:29 And the other thing was my grandmother. 52:32 Christmas time for me, 52:34 my grandmother would always do excerpts from Messiah. 52:38 And so every Christmas I just love hearing the Messiah 52:42 because it reminds me of her, and Dennis and I used to sing. 52:44 Sometimes we would get together and just take a score 52:47 and just sing the Messiah like on the Friday night. 52:50 It was just, it's so to me, 52:52 just this time of year 52:54 when we really think about Jesus 52:56 and really zero in on the fact that He came, 53:00 as Angela just said earlier to this earth, 53:03 here from paradise, He came for us. 53:06 So my memories have to do with food and music. 53:11 Yvonne, we've traded stories in the background. 53:15 Mine, we were raise poor, she was Leave it to Beaver. 53:18 Any of you remember the show. 53:19 Remember the show Leave it to Beaver. 53:21 We had seven people in two bedrooms, 53:25 she had four people in five bedrooms 53:28 or something like that, you know. 53:30 And two kids in five bedrooms and we have five with two. 53:33 Anyway we just, 53:35 something about that didn't sound right... 53:36 Oh, my goodness. 53:37 But she had to Leave it to Beaver. 53:39 Did any of you folks, 53:40 you ever go Christmas caroling 53:42 when you growing up your churches... 53:43 Now we used to go all the time but we would take 53:46 'cause it gets cold here in Southern Illinois 53:48 so we would take reel to reel recorders. 53:50 Now you remember those too, right? 53:52 Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. 53:53 Take little reel to reel 53:54 and they would take them and put them in, 53:56 they plug it in and use it off for battery 53:58 and put a little horn on the car... 53:59 Yeah, that's right. 54:00 So that we covered all the towns, 54:02 Benld and West Frankfort and all those. 54:04 We'd start like right after Thanksgiving 54:06 and we go Christmas caroling 54:08 and so that was a good memory too. 54:11 Now for some of us like my brothers didn't want to go, 54:13 so my folks gave them option, 54:15 you want to go or you want to whopping, 54:16 you know, so at first night 54:19 they refused and took the whopping and by then, 54:22 it was my dad was pretty good at, 54:23 he knew how to, he wouldn't spank 54:25 and or whipping as whopping. 54:26 Whooping 54:28 There is a difference in case you don't know, 54:29 some of you know, 54:30 but after that he decide to go Christmas camp. 54:33 But I loved it and it was fun. 54:35 In fact we would raise all that, 54:37 try to see houses lid up 54:38 'cause we try to get the most money, 54:40 we made competition. 54:41 It wasn't for us, 54:43 we've always given for the church dinner, 54:44 everybody in the community, in the cities around knew, 54:47 when the Christmas time come Seventh-day Adventist church, 54:49 they are gonna be out there, taking up funds 54:51 and we would do at King's Heralds, 54:53 I think was, was singing on those reel to reel tapes. 54:56 And once in a while we would get out 54:57 and try to sing if it wasn't snow on or cold 54:59 or too windy, you know, 55:01 go to the doors and people have, 55:02 all are those are just great memories 55:04 when you look back. 55:06 Yeah, it's so good to think about, you know, 55:09 where we've come from, 55:10 where God has brought us thus far 55:12 and also know that 55:14 God's got a plan for each of us. 55:16 And you need to know that God has a plan for you. 55:19 We talk about it all the time on Dare to Dream 55:22 but at this time of the year really consider 55:25 what God has done in your life 55:26 and the amazing sacrifice 55:28 that he has made on your behalf just for you. 55:32 And when you think about that and you just, it just, 55:35 actually, you know, they have studies that show 55:37 that the brain actually lights up 55:40 when we start thinking about God. 55:42 And so when we contemplate His greatness, our minds, 55:46 actually our brains literally change. 55:49 We need to really think about the goodness of God. 55:52 I talked to someone just yesterday 55:53 and they were talking about the past 55:55 and I said, I'm more interested in the future 55:58 than I'm on the past 'cause we all don't have, 56:00 you know, we can look at the past 56:02 but I like there is a statement by lady name Ellen White, 56:05 and she says we have nothing to fear for the future 56:08 if we just look back to the past 56:09 to see where God has led us. 56:10 Amen.

Amen. 01:24:06 Beautiful absolutely, thank you. 01:24:10 The desire of ages. 01:24:12 Speaking of the desire of ages... 01:24:13 It almost sounds like a book title, doesn't it? 01:24:15 It does, I was gonna say it. 01:24:16 I mean that is just one of our favorite books too, 01:24:18 The Desire of Ages. Absolutely. How beautiful. 01:24:21 You wrote that song... 01:24:22 Yes. I guess. 01:24:24 That was beautiful. 01:24:25 Can you give him his microphone, there you go. 01:24:27 So you wrote that song? Yes. 01:24:28 Now that desire of ages 01:24:30 that didn't come from the thought 01:24:31 about the book, did it? 01:24:33 Actually it did, 01:24:34 I have to tell the truth. Yeah, it did, it did. 01:24:37 But it fits in beautifully. It does. 01:24:39 Absolutely love it. It does. 01:24:41 Let me ask you guys something. 01:24:43 When you think about Christmas, the time of course, 01:24:45 you think about giving, 01:24:48 what for each of you would be the best gift 01:24:52 that you can imagine? 01:24:54 Let's start with Lyndon. 01:24:55 Why would you pick me, Yvonne? 01:24:58 No, I would say my time. 01:25:02 Okay. My time is the biggest thing. 01:25:06 I like to play tennis, 01:25:08 I like to do a bunch of other stuff 01:25:10 but giving my time, giving myself, 01:25:14 that's what God requires of us. 01:25:16 And I think that's the biggest thing 01:25:18 that anybody can give is their time. 01:25:20 Okay. Okay. 01:25:21 Good. What about you, sis? 01:25:23 This is my turn. 01:25:25 Giving all that I am to God, 01:25:28 and that means not just between me and Him 01:25:31 but, you know, horizontally giving of service to mankind, 01:25:35 no matter what that looks like. 01:25:37 I think that's so important 'cause that's what Christ did. 01:25:40 He gave up so much and while He was here, 01:25:41 He was serving us. 01:25:43 Yeah. 01:25:44 You know, what I'm saying He was down with the lowly, 01:25:45 He was hanging with hood. 01:25:49 He was one of us, 01:25:50 and I try to remember that when dealing with people 01:25:53 that I don't get to the point 01:25:55 while I'm looking down at others 01:25:56 but I'm giving them that 01:25:58 same type of love and compassion 01:25:59 that Christ gave then and still gives me now. 01:26:02 That's right. Amen. 01:26:03 So we are talking about either the greatest gift 01:26:07 you can give 01:26:08 or the greatest gift you can receive. 01:26:10 Yeah. Either way. 01:26:12 For me, if I could be in full time ministry 01:26:20 and I don't mean like the way we know it traditionally, 01:26:23 but just every, to have the time to do worship, 01:26:27 to have the time to do Bible study. 01:26:29 Not have to like do that after you work. 01:26:32 Okay. Right. 01:26:34 But to be able to do that full time, 01:26:36 like we use to talk about this kind of stuff years ago. 01:26:39 I think that would, if I could, you know, 01:26:41 if I could go to fantasy island, 01:26:43 there was a show, you guys don't remember that. 01:26:45 Yeah. 01:26:46 And then, you know, you could just do it 01:26:48 in not any traditional way 01:26:49 but just live that as you walk out your house, 01:26:52 as you see somebody at the store. 01:26:54 You know, 'cause I was sick in the other day. 01:26:57 People, when Christ was with, 01:27:00 like you said hanging out with the people, we know, 01:27:02 we read the bible and it doesn't say, 01:27:04 He got up in their face and He told them this. 01:27:08 He would turn in around and ask them a question 01:27:11 and quietly they would be like waiting for him 01:27:13 to give them some heavy, 01:27:14 and He would give him something heavy 01:27:16 but it would be like, oh, I wasn't expecting it to come. 01:27:18 Yeah. 01:27:19 So there was a gentleness in a way that He float, 01:27:22 and I think, you know, 01:27:24 more of that would be what I like to do. 01:27:26 Good. 01:27:28 Sorry I went on but... 01:27:29 No, no, no, no, no, we want you to. 01:27:31 That's great. 01:27:32 One night I was, just picked up my guitar, 01:27:35 do that a lot of times at night, 01:27:36 I was just playing a little bit, 01:27:38 And I said Lord, I want to give you something 01:27:39 but I don't know what to give you. 01:27:41 What in the world do you give to creator of the universe 01:27:44 who created the world, who created us, 01:27:46 and then I heard this little small still voice say, 01:27:49 all my praise, 01:27:51 I give you all my praise. 01:27:54 Yeah. 01:27:55 That's all I have to offer you 01:27:59 I now build a sanctuary 01:28:03 Deep within my heart 01:28:05 And all my praise, I offer up to you 01:28:10 Amen. 01:28:11 So the Lord gave me this little chorus, 01:28:13 just all my praise, I offer Him. 01:28:15 So I said hey, that's all I've got to give God. 01:28:18 Amen. Amen. 01:28:19 And hence, He inhabits the praises... 01:28:20 Yes, He does. Of His people. 01:28:22 Yes, yes, awesome. 01:28:23 I've been thinking about this question recently 01:28:26 because I think a lot of times 01:28:28 we are looking for something profound to give. 01:28:33 You know, like you were talking to God saying that 01:28:34 what can I give you, 01:28:36 you're thinking of these big things, 01:28:38 and what hit me recently is I think we take for granted. 01:28:41 You know, we are musicians 01:28:42 and we've grown up singing and so on. 01:28:45 But this thing that we have that God gave us, 01:28:47 this music is something that is really a precious gift. 01:28:52 And when you meet people who share with you, 01:28:54 oh, man I went through such and such 01:28:56 and I listen to your song and it was a blessing to me 01:28:59 or where I was feeling down that day 01:29:01 and that song that you sang, you know, lifted me. 01:29:04 It's just a reminder to me that to return the gifts... 01:29:10 That's it. 01:29:12 That I've been given is one of the greatest things 01:29:13 that you can do. 01:29:15 Obviously we've all been given these gifts 01:29:16 but when we get a chance to do 01:29:18 like we share like we're sharing today 01:29:21 and bless the people who are watching, 01:29:24 I think that's one of the greatest gifts 01:29:25 we can do is just sort of operate in the gift 01:29:28 that you've been given. 01:29:29 Amen. Amen, amen. 01:29:31 All right. 01:29:33 Well, considering the urgency of the times that we live in, 01:29:37 it is truly my soul's desire to see souls saved. 01:29:43 Yes. 01:29:45 And so, if in giving of myself in service, 01:29:49 seeing others give themselves to Christ, 01:29:53 I think that's the ultimate gift. 01:29:54 Yes. Amen. 01:29:56 Neville, what about you? 01:29:57 I will say that the ultimate gift 01:29:59 that we can give God is ourselves 01:30:03 and when I say ourselves, I really mean like our will 01:30:08 because, you know, we live in a world today 01:30:14 where everybody wants to be true to themselves 01:30:19 and we say be true to yourself and... 01:30:23 You know, I've spent a lot of time 01:30:24 thinking about that, 01:30:26 but at the end of the day I realize 01:30:29 that instead of being true to self, 01:30:31 we need to be true to Christ. 01:30:32 That's right. Yes. 01:30:34 And being true to Christ at times 01:30:36 may require us to deny ourselves... 01:30:39 Come on, come on now. 01:30:41 I know and Jesus Himself said it, He said, you know, 01:30:44 pick up your cross, you know, if you want to be My disciple, 01:30:47 you have to pick up your cross, 01:30:49 you have to deny yourself and you have to follow Me. 01:30:53 And so, the more I think about it, 01:30:56 I realize more and more 01:30:58 that I can't be about the business 01:31:00 of being true to the way I think 01:31:02 or the way I feel 01:31:04 or being true to my own opinions about things... 01:31:06 That's right. 01:31:08 I need to find out what God thinks, 01:31:09 how He feels it. 01:31:11 I need to begin looking at things 01:31:12 from His perspective, you know. 01:31:14 Absolutely. 01:31:15 And sometimes those things will challenge you to the core, 01:31:18 I mean to the very core. 01:31:20 So that's what I want to give God, you know, 01:31:25 my desire is to give Him myself, 01:31:27 my will, my, you know, my heart. 01:31:30 Amen. 01:31:31 The devil glamorizes the self, 01:31:32 all these magazines in the last 15, 20 years 01:31:36 more then ever, all about self, all about me, 01:31:39 you know, and everybody to do take care of me 01:31:42 when really it's just the opposite, right? 01:31:43 It's right. 01:31:44 We're supposed to go tell the world about Jesus and... 01:31:46 It's all about Him. 01:31:47 And right, 01:31:49 tell them about God's saving grace and His power. 01:31:52 What we got to do is some more music. 01:31:53 Here our time is running away. I know, I know. 01:31:55 John is gonna sing for us. All right. 01:31:59 We are so blessed to have him. 01:32:01 Love it, what a touch he has on the keyboard. 01:32:04 Yes, yes. 01:32:05 That didn't come all at once, that's taken a lifetime. 01:32:07 Need a little time practicing. 01:32:09 And this song, we were talking earlier 01:32:11 about our memories of Christmas. 01:32:13 So this song is sort of my stories of Christmas memory 01:32:17 that we turn into a song 01:32:18 and we're gonna get a chance to share with you, 01:32:20 it's called "Only on Christmas Day." 01:32:39 There in the kitchen in front of the stove 01:32:44 Grandma's cooking 01:32:47 She's got food on her clothes 01:32:50 I smell turkey and dressing 01:32:53 And my favorite apple pie 01:32:56 And she seasons the moment 01:32:59 With the tear in her eye 01:33:02 And that fill her emotion 01:33:05 Because the meaning of Christmas 01:33:11 Changed what she was 01:33:14 Only on Christmas day 01:33:20 She found the star to show her the way 01:33:26 To the cross and the prize that He paid 01:33:32 To give her this hope on this Christmas day 01:33:38 Then for the first time It all became clear 01:33:44 There was much more than this day 01:33:47 Than just the snow and reindeer 01:33:50 More than the sleigh bells, the carols and gifts 01:33:56 Because He took our sorrows for much more than this 01:34:02 And it marks the beginning of my new life 01:34:08 That I'll live forever because He lived to die 01:34:15 Only on Christmas day 01:34:20 I found the star to show me the way 01:34:26 To the cross and the prize that He paid 01:34:32 To give me this hope on this Christmas day 01:34:38 Now you can take all the praise ends 01:34:41 The holly the tree 01:34:44 Just give me Jesus for eternity 01:35:14 Only on Christmas day 01:35:20 I found the star to show me the way 01:35:26 To the cross and the prize that He paid 01:35:32 To give me this hope 01:35:36 On this Christmas day 01:35:44 I found the star to show me the way 01:35:50 To the cross and the prize that he paid 01:35:57 To give me this hope 01:36:08 I found the star to show me the way 01:36:14 To the cross and the prize that He paid 01:36:20 To give me this hope on this Christmas 01:36:28 This Christmas day 01:36:35 Amen, amen. 01:36:38 Hallelujah. Only on Christmas day. 01:36:40 Amen. Amen. 01:36:42 I like that, I like that. I love that. 01:36:44 Yvonne, I can't believe our time is almost gone. 01:36:47 Where did it go? 01:36:48 I don't know, we've been having fun. 01:36:49 We have. 01:36:51 But we got little more music before this program is over. 01:36:52 Where are we going next?
