There were two angel friends. They were known for singing sweet duets about the Glory of God and playing on pure silver trumpets. They often led the orchestra for angels, because of their musical abilities. Once, their orchestra leader, Temira, gave them and other members of the angelic orchestra, exciting news. God had decided to send his Son to live among His people. They had to prepare a musical jubilee in one of the most important events, in the history of the world. It just had to be the best and all the angels with good voices had to sing and all the instruments were to be played for this special event. Temira asked his orchestra, whether they knew the importance of the assignment. The first trumpeting angel said that he understood that the Lord wanted them to appear to the shepherds in the hills of Bethlehem, who had never seen an angel in their lives and might be afraid. The second trumpeting angel completed the answer by adding that the angels could replace the fear of the shepherds with joy and love for the Christ Child, then they could announce the arrival of the Savior. Temira smiled and nodded contentedly. All orchestra members felt honored for the opportunity and practiced for perfection in their roles. On the day that the Christ Child was born, in the stable, at Bethlehem, as planned, the Christmas angels first appeared to the shepherds and the trumpeting angel friends played the first few notes of the glorious concert in the dark night sky. Shepherds looked up to the sky and were shocked, surprised and awed, soon to be filled with amazement and wonder and their hearts brimming with humility and thankfulness to God for His Glory. The angels then gave the shepherds the good tidings of great joy and were joined by many other angels who sang and praised God, filling the skies with the angelic words - Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will to men.
