Compare yourself with those who on the Lord’s Day hear nothing except the dismal sound of the world. What a privilege it is for you to hear the proclamation of the gospel!

Hiraeth

DateWednesday, February 27, 2008 at 09:29AM

My friend, Ann, is writing some special "Welsh themed" posts in honor of St David's Day.  (St. David being the patron Saint of Wales)

She linked to a wonderful YouTube video.  If you listen very carefully, the narrator pronounces the word hiraeth (just after she says that homesickness is too weak a word for the longing to return home).  Just hearing it brought tears to my eyes. 

I guess that response must be hiraeth; for my family, for my hometown,  for that which I have never seen. . .like a Christian yearning for heaven.

Oh I love it! It sounds like a word from Middle Earth.
