A few friends got together tonight and we went Christmas caroling around one girl's neighborhood.
The recipients of our carols were very grateful for our singing. One woman in particular stood there in her doorway, tears streaming down her cheeks and husband (also tearing up) behind her, telling us that we couldn't have come at a better time. Their son had just come home that day from surgery; he had a brain tumor. She came outside and gave each one of us a hug, thanking us for our kindness. I'm sure it was a special moment for each of us carolers to experience that simple, yet profound service for another person.
This is what Christmas is all about. Lifting others' spirits is a true joy and blessing.
