Amen. 09:21 It's beautiful. Amen. Praise the Lord. 09:23 Yvonne, can you imagine what it would be like 09:25 to have all that music going underneath you? 09:28 And we have no conception, 09:30 no idea how you can play fields, 09:34 now a lot of people when they chord 09:35 they just chord as they sing. 09:37 He does all the fields and everything and sings 09:40 and then does some new arrangements. 09:41 I heard some chords there, I hadn't heard before. 09:44 When you said, "We have no idea." 09:46 You literally mean all three of us have no idea 09:48 'cause I truly don't know. 09:50 But it came out beautiful though. 09:51 I'm as surprised as you are when it happens. 09:53 You know, that's such a gift. 09:55 I do that on the guitar and it's a wreck though, 09:57 like this is like a train wreck. 09:59 I don't know how he does that but absolutely beautiful. 10:02 It's great time of year, let's talk a little bit 10:04 about the season growing up. 10:06 We all have our memories of our families. 10:08 And, Yvonne, why don't we start with you, 10:09 tell us a little bit about Christmas 10:11 around your home? 10:13 Yes. 10:14 Well, this time of the year was always special 10:16 because at church, 10:19 my grandmother was the conductor 10:22 of the New Believer's choir 10:24 and she would do the Messiah every single year. 10:28 And she would... 10:29 She would call me like later as after I grew up, 10:32 she would call me like, asked me a year in advance, 10:35 so you can't say no because, you know, 10:37 you're not booked at that time... 10:38 You don't say no to your grandmother anyway. 10:40 I know, well, that's true, too. 10:41 But I mean, I wasn't booked and so, you know, 10:43 she would always get me. 10:45 But I would love the music like, 10:48 even as Tim was just singing 10:50 Hark! The herald angels sing, there's just something so... 10:56 You can just feel the presence of God 10:58 in this music because it's proclaiming the advent 11:04 of the Savior of the world. 11:06 And so my parents 11:08 and my little sister and I mean, 11:10 it was just a very special time for us 11:13 and my mother would take us out. 11:16 My dad will be working somewhere, 11:18 my mother and my aunt Carmel 11:19 would take us to get a Christmas tree. 11:22 And we would have a tree and it was just, 11:25 it was just really special. 11:27 And they would kind of wait till 11:28 the last minute to get one. 11:29 And so we had that fun. 11:31 They were just, it was just a very fun time of the year 11:35 and very special, and it's a time 11:38 for family to get together. 11:40 But I think that there are a lot of people 11:43 who don't have anyone during the season 11:45 and that can be very lonely. 11:48 And so to you, we say that you're not alone. 11:51 You have your 3ABN family can tune in anytime 11:54 and we're right here. 11:56 And also you have Jesus 11:58 who will never leave you nor forsake you. 12:01 So what a beautiful, beautiful gift 12:04 that He is to the world and He continues to be. 12:08 Amen. All right, thank you so much. 12:11 Well, Mr. Tim, what about you? 12:12 I know you came from a musical family. 12:14 Yeah. Yeah. 12:17 I don't remember really much 12:19 as far as the music part of Christmas. 12:22 My mother and I've shared this story so many times. 12:26 But my mom was a seamstress. 12:30 And so that was... 12:33 She sewed so many of our... 12:36 She would be making clothes through the year. 12:39 And then she would have a big box of clothes. 12:42 I remember every year at Christmas, 12:46 there'd be a big box by the tree 12:47 and that was our clothes for the year that she had made. 12:50 And I also remember that she had a little tag that said, 12:54 made with love by mom. 12:56 She would put in my shirt, 12:59 so we know that was really special 13:01 for like, you know, through third or fourth grade. 13:05 But then whenever it became less popular 13:09 to be wearing your those homemade clothes, 13:13 which they were nice but anyway the other kids 13:16 were wearing cool jeans and so I remember that year 13:20 whenever I asked mom for those Levi's 13:23 and just the emptiness that I felt 13:26 when I came around the corner and saw there was no box, 13:28 but just a little package there. 13:30 Not that it was the size of the package, 13:32 but it was just the fact that I knew... 13:36 I kind of messed up on that situation 13:38 'cause there she put a lot of love 13:41 into those clothes 13:42 but, you know, my mom had a wonderful way 13:46 of making the atmosphere. 13:47 She was a great hostess. 13:49 She truly had the gift of hospitality. 13:52 And so in the things 13:57 that she would do... 13:59 Now I look back on it and I realized I don't, 14:02 I don't have that. 14:04 For my two sons who are older now 14:06 even when they were younger I struggled with 14:09 trying to make Christmas just as the atmosphere of it 14:14 in our home but when we had Christ 14:16 was truly the center and the focus of it, 14:18 but just a little touches. 14:20 And now as, my goodness, 14:23 working here this year has been so busy. 14:26 I mean, it just seems like it was just a couple months 14:30 and we were doing this, you know, 14:32 gathered around the piano and talking about Christmas. 14:37 But I have really had to focus in on Christmas this year 14:42 being about the story that never grows old 14:47 because without Christ I truly have nothing, 14:51 even my gifts. 14:52 I don't know how to play the piano without Christ. 14:54 And I know people, people who don't understand that 14:58 you don't get it but I practice a lot, 15:01 you know, but I... 15:03 It's not just the playing, anybody can sit down and play. 15:08 I want the Spirit of the Lord to flow through me 15:11 when I play. 15:12 And so I just, 15:16 so I truly pray that this Christmas... 15:21 I pray for you if you are having 15:22 the same kind of hard time to get in the mood. 15:28 Remember, the story that never grows old 15:32 is the story of Christ coming to earth. 15:36 Putting on flesh, becoming like you and me 15:39 to bring the greatest story ever told. 15:44 Year after year as we celebrate 15:49 The season Sometimes I lose the joy 15:55 Or I forget the reason why 16:01 But holding the foundation 16:05 Of our earthly celebration 16:10 Is the story of a King 16:14 Who came to die 16:20 It still warms my heart 16:24 To know that Christ 16:26 Would leave His glory 16:29 To be called the greatest story 16:34 Ever told 16:39 And the angels still sing of the joy 16:46 Salvation Brings is a story 16:52 That never grows old 17:03 When I look back 17:06 On my memories of Christmas 17:11 So many past traditions 17:15 That I use to know have gone 17:21 But the story of a Savior 17:25 Is as real today as ever 17:29 And throughout eternity 17:33 It shall live on 17:39 It still warms my heart 17:42 To know that Christ would leave His glory 17:48 To be called the greatest story 17:52 Ever told 17:56 And the angels still sing of the joy 18:03 Salvation brings it's the story 18:08 That never grows old 18:14 And the angels 18:17 Still sing of the joy 18:22 Salvation brings 18:28 It's a story 18:33 That never grows old 18:50 True is. Beautiful. 18:52 Amen. Beautiful, beautiful. 18:54 Who wrote that song? Do you know? 18:56 I don't know who wrote that... 18:57 Really seem like something Tim might or... 18:59 Yeah. 19:00 Tim and Aaron Wilburn could have written that. 19:01 Right. It's a beautiful song. 19:03 We would have written it if we thought of it but... 19:04 You have another one for us? 19:06 Yeah, you know, another thought that 19:07 I had been thinking of is, 19:11 I'm so thrilled again is that meant that song 19:13 talked about that Christ came to earth. 19:16 And I can't imagine what it would be like 19:24 to not have a Savior, who, you know, 19:27 the Bible talks about that He is moved without 19:31 what moves us, you know, we have a High Priest, 19:35 that can be... 19:37 He understands us. 19:39 And that means a lot to me to know that 19:43 I'm not just serving a stone statue. 19:49 But when Christ was born, it is as if hope became real. 19:56 Hope, it actually took on flesh 19:58 and this is a great little song that says Hope Has Hands 20:03 and listen to all the different... 20:07 Just the words are great that... 20:09 I do know, Phil Cross wrote this song. 20:11 And this is a great song. 20:14 In search of a child They travel so far 20:20 Led by a star to a place of joy 20:26 Now the wise men tell A beautiful story 20:33 Describing the glory Of a baby boy 20:40 This is what they would say. 20:42 Now hope has hands Freedom has feet 20:50 Truth will stand 20:53 And the Word will speak 20:57 The holy and lowly Will finally embrace 21:05 For love has a heartbeat 21:12 And grace 21:14 Has a face 21:20 Listen to this. 21:22 Compassion has a tear Joy has a laughter 21:30 And here ever after peace has a smile 21:37 Redemption's blood Has veins to flow in 21:43 A temple to grow in 21:47 The Light is a child 21:52 Hope has hands Freedom has feet 21:58 Truth will stand The Word will speak 22:05 The holy and lowly Will finally embrace 22:13 For love has a heartbeat 22:20 And grace has a face 22:35 The holy and lowly Will finally embrace 22:43 For love has a heartbeat 22:52 Love has a heartbeat 22:55 And grace has a face 23:09 John said, "The Word became flesh and dwelt among us." 23:12 Amen. Beautiful. 23:14 Love has a heartbeat. Yeah. 23:16 Because God is love. That's right. 23:18 He has a heartbeat. 23:20 It takes an eternity to describe God 23:24 and His love for fallen man and the sacrifice that He made. 23:27 And what a different way the author put this in here, 23:31 you know, love has a face or grace has a face, 23:35 I mean, that's amazing. And love has a heartbeat. 23:38 I love that second verse is compassion has a tear. 23:41 Yes, yes. You know, that's just good. 23:44 Isn't that beautiful, beautiful song? 23:48 When I was a kid, we were... 23:50 My father was disabled when I was really young. 23:52 They used to be my mother 23:53 and dad spent a number of years, 23:55 mostly my dad playing country music and, you know, 23:58 bars, taverns, or whatever. 24:00 And my mother became 24:02 a Seventh-day Adventist Christian in 1951 24:05 after the Lord healed her polio. 24:07 And so my dad didn't join the church 24:10 for several more years 'cause he said, "Well, 24:12 I got to make a living." 24:14 He was, you know, a truck driver 24:16 and then in weekends he would do the... 24:18 And they had a radio program I think for about five years, 24:20 I think, right, was Frankfort, 24:22 this area Southern Illinois doing country music, 24:24 had Bernie Smith on the guitar, 24:26 Jack Medes on the bass, 24:27 my uncle Charlie on played steel guitar, 24:31 and my mother, she played some, 24:33 but she didn't play in the taverns too long. 24:35 She always wonder she's resting in Jesus. 24:38 Now, Tim, she always wanted me to say now remember, 24:40 I only spent a few months out there. 24:42 I didn't do that, you know, and as a mom, 24:45 you weren't a Christian at the time, so and she... 24:47 Yeah, but I didn't... 24:48 You know, I knew better than that. 24:50 I really was trying to get your dad to quit. 24:51 So I thought, well, if I go out there and play, 24:53 he will quit. 24:54 But he spent a few more years. 24:56 So he had a heart attack. 24:57 I think I was maybe 10 years old. 25:00 And he was totally disabled 25:02 and couldn't really work anymore and hold a job. 25:05 And so, when it came Christmas time 25:07 as far as presents goes, it was really slim pickings. 25:11 And so we didn't really plan on getting that much 25:14 for Christmas. 25:16 And I can remember just getting little things but, 25:18 you know, I never felt anything badly about it. 25:21 I knew our situation. 25:22 We were happy one time 25:23 we'd like to get a little pocket knife. 25:25 Hey, that's a pocket knife. 25:26 You didn't have something that you had 25:28 and then when we got older in high school, 25:30 I've always told the story in high school they said, 25:32 "Well, there's five kids and mom, dad, 25:34 let's just draw names and you pick somebody's name 25:37 and buy them one present." 25:39 And so Kenny and I, he's three years older than me. 25:42 He's senior, and I think I was freshman and four years, 25:45 maybe older man, 25:46 so we picked each other's names. 25:49 So guess what we did? 25:50 We didn't wanna buy each other present. 25:52 So we just said, "Okay, we shake hands." 25:53 And that's Christmas. 25:57 Really the atmosphere though. 26:00 Christmas time my folks love music. 26:02 And as I said, my mom and dad, 26:04 and we would sing Christmas songs 26:06 around the piano. 26:07 And at church, I remember that. 26:09 And then a very special part of Christmas was 26:12 what we probably you'd have to be 26:14 an Adventist Church or raised in church 26:16 to understand this term in gathering. 26:18 Any of you old enough to remember that, 26:20 I'm not even sure if they do it anymore. 26:22 But for everybody else, maybe Christmas caroling, 26:25 but we used to go to West Frankfort. 26:27 My dad would have a car with a tape recorder 26:30 and little megaphone on top and he played 26:33 the King's Herald quartet singing Christmas songs 26:36 and Uncle Olan might be over in Benton with his kids. 26:39 And then Elmer, his cousin Elmer Filkins 26:43 and Santian and their kids, 26:45 they would be maybe over in Johnson City, 26:49 and somebody in Ziegler. 26:50 So we'd go to all the neighborhoods, 26:51 and we would raise funds and so we go to the house 26:54 and say we're raising funds 26:56 for those less fortunate than ourselves 26:58 and so every year people look forward to our church. 27:02 And our church members being out 27:04 and they'd have the money ready. 27:05 Lot of those folk would say, I wondered 27:07 when you were a few days late, 27:09 I wondered when you were gonna come by, 27:11 and I still remember. 27:13 And then my dad, my mother, and Uncle Olan and Mildred, 27:17 and some of the other relatives, 27:18 they would take a guitar. 27:20 And, so he would just go from door to door 27:23 and then stand outside the houses 27:24 and then people would come out 27:26 and then literally Christmas carol. 27:29 And, you know, it's not always that 27:31 we don't get terrible weather but it can be cold 27:33 around Christmas and sometimes get snow and ice 27:36 and what have you but when the weather was there, 27:38 they were out there door to door. 27:39 So those are memories in as family. 27:42 I remember, when my dad he used to sing 27:44 and maybe Tim if you'll give me like 27:47 F or something. 27:48 And maybe we'll do a Silent Night. 27:52 Silent night, 27:56 Holy night! 28:01 All is calm, 28:06 All is bright 28:11 Round yon Virgin 28:15 Mother and Child 28:19 Holy Infant 28:23 So tender and mild 28:28 Sleep in heavenly peace 28:38 Sleep in heavenly 28:44 Peace though 28:48 Brings back Too many memories of that. 28:53 Silent night, 28:57 Holy night! 29:01 Shepherds quake 29:06 At the sight Glories stream 29:13 From heaven afar 29:18 Heavenly hosts 29:22 Sing Alleluia! 29:27 Christ the Savior 29:32 Is born 29:37 Christ the Savior 29:42 Is born 29:46 I think there's one more verse. 29:52 Silent night, 29:56 holy night! 30:00 Son of God, 30:04 Love's pure light 30:08 Radiant beams 30:12 From Thy holy face 30:17 With the dawn of 30:20 Redeeming grace 30:25 Jesus Lord, at Thy birth 30:35 Jesus Lord, at Thy birth 30:54 Amen. Beautiful? 30:55 It's beautiful. Beautiful old song, isn't it? 30:58 Yeah. Yes. 31:00 Yeah, that kind of chokes you up, 31:01 you think about, you know, 31:02 your loved ones that are now resting in the Lord 31:06 and we think of the hope, 31:07 Tim, you sang about the hope of eternity, 31:10 the hope of salvation, the hope of a new world. 31:12 No more sickness, no more pain, now more sorrow. 31:14 Yes, yes. Thank you. 31:16 No more. No more death. Yes. 31:18 I'm gonna ask you to do something, 31:20 you've never done this song. 31:21 And you've never done it all the way through. 31:24 And this wouldn't be nice, 31:25 but they're gonna have a teleprompter 31:27 with the words on it. 31:29 It's a song that I sat and wrote, 31:31 but Tim Parton actually helped me 31:32 I had to tune and I remember, Joy is Born. 31:36 And you remember that song? 31:38 You probably don't remember... 31:39 How long it was that? Well, about 10 years or so. 31:43 You see this gray hair. 31:45 I asked him to kind of just help me 31:47 with the chords and stuff but he ended up writing 31:49 much prettier than me. 31:51 So I might have put your name on that Tim. 31:52 Unless you don't like it, but if you like it, 31:54 and it's okay... 31:55 Although it depends how I play it now. 31:57 We'll put your name on it but it's a song. 31:59 I love how he got me 32:00 to sing the song that he wrote... 32:01 Well, I sang with the kids a number of years ago 32:04 but she made the mistake of saying 32:06 that's a beautiful song. 32:07 That's not just a children's song. 32:09 I'd be happy to sing that. 32:11 So I know you haven't even practiced it 32:13 all the way through done anything 32:15 and it's been years but if, Tim if you know what, 32:16 maybe sing this one... 32:18 This is spontaneity. 32:19 And it reminded me of it 32:21 because we said joy was born, 32:24 that when Christ... 32:25 When Jesus was born, joy was born. 32:26 Yes. Yes. 32:38 In a little town Called Bethlehem 32:43 Early in the morning 32:48 In a stable just behind the inn 32:54 Joy was born 32:59 Joy was born Joy was born 33:05 On that first Christmas morning 33:10 Joy was born Joy was born 33:15 As the Savior of the world 33:21 The King of kings From heaven above 33:27 Came to set us free 33:32 He died that We might live with Him 33:38 For eternity 33:43 Joy was born Joy was born 33:49 On that first Christmas morning 33:55 Joy was born Joy was born 34:00 As the Savior of the world 34:07 The package was small But the gift was so great 34:12 It was a baby boy That we now celebrate 34:17 He created the world By a spoken command 34:23 Now He holds the world's In the palm of His hand 34:27 Think about that. 34:38 Joy was born Joy was born 34:43 On that first Christmas morning 34:49 Joy was born Joy was born 34:54 As the Savior of the world 35:03 As the Savior of the world 35:17 Thank you.

Isn't that great? 35:39 Can you see, you know, 35:40 I love looking at a little baby's hand. 35:42 Yeah.
