The Weary World Rejoices

Last year I saw an indoor sign and immediately knew I wanted it for an outdoor Christmas sign.  Because I saw it too late last year it didn't happen, but this year it did!

I am so thankful for a husband who willingly takes on all my projects with love.


He may not always be happy about it and my projects usually take a few days as well as have adjustments to work through, BUT he keeps on keeping on with the task at hand.  That's love.

I've had the picture on my phone for a year as a constant reminder to not miss the chance this year.  So right after Thanksgiving we got started.

Supplies:
BIG piece of wood
Bright red paint
Metallic silver paint.

That's it!  After a coat of Kilz we then added two coats of the red. Next Brant free handed the wording with the metallic silver.  DONE!



I am so happy with the way it came out!  Next he attached "legs" in order to stake it in the ground.



Then we added a spotlight for night time viewing to share it with the world.




O holy night, the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior's birth. 
Long lay the world in sin and error pining, 
Till he appeared and the soul felt its worth.
The thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices, 
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn. 
Fall on your knees, 
Oh, hear the angel voices
O night divine, 
O night when Christ was born
O night divine, 
O night, O night divine, 

The thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices, 
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn. 
Fall on your knees, 
Oh, hear the angel voices
O night divine, 
O night when Christ was born
O night divine, 
O night, O night divine, 

O holy night
