Earlier today, I looked out my window at the colored
Christmas lights hung outside my home and thought about how much I like
them. Those lights take me back to my
grandparents' house, to the Christmases of my childhood where there was warmth
and magic and surprise. It occurred to
me that these lights are one of many quiet kindnesses from my husband. Things just happen sometimes; magic just
appears. He does many kind things in his
quiet way. I had wanted outdoor lights,
but didn't mention it and then all of a sudden, there they were.
A while back, a chain that my daughter wears every day
broke. I meant to get it fixed, but I
had not gotten around to it. One day, I
noticed that she had it on again. I
asked her how it got fixed and she said that my husband had taken it to be
repaired. I had never asked him to do it
and yet somehow, it got done.
Christmas is a time for kindness and for magic and for
miracles...
Merry Christmas to all and to all a Good Night!
