My Ebenezer
Ebenezer Scrooge is a famous character from one of the world's favorite classics! I know I've talked about this before.......A Christmas Carol is my favorite book! I've been fascinated by the absolute genius of Charles Dickens. This genius has earned him "favorite author" status on the bookshelf of my life!! The word Ebenezer came to me the other day while driving home from work. As thoughts of the season penetrated my mind along with Christmas music and a love for the season, I thought of Ebenezer Scrooge. I've heard the word Ebenezer in a church hymn......Come Thou Fount, "I raise my Ebenezer" is the lyric. I thought "what does that mean?" After a quick Google search I learned that the exact definition is "a commemoration of divine assistance"! After finding this out my mind was blown yet again by Dickens' genius! I wonder, did he know what that word meant and used it on purpose? I know Ebenezer was a common name
