Angels out my front door
Tuesday, December 18th, 2007I am sorry to say I missed the high school Christmas concert. I look forward to it each year. But this year I just didn’t make it.
However, something happened while Bob and I were eating supper last night that re-affirmes why we choose to live in a small community.
The door bell rang. Several quick times. Whoever was out there was in a hurry. Bob sighed. “I’ll get it.”
I heard the outside door open and then I heard him call “Alva! Come here. Someone has something they want you to see.”
Outside, standing on an old trailer, for a stage platform, stood four of our favorite nieghbor kids. Four boys… some in school…some not. And they burst into the most rousing chorus of Feliz Navidad that I have ever heard!
Wow! Talk about Christmas spirit! Those guys had it.
Isn’t it those kind of things that make living is a small community special. Even if you miss a concert. Someone might bring it to you.
So may you feel extreme joy and great hope this Christmas season. Feliz Navidad! (more…)
