A Meaningful Christmas

One night a couple of weeks ago, we were at home just finishing dinner, when we heard some beautiful singing.  We peeked out the door to find where it was coming from and listened to gorgeous harmonies of a tradional Romanian carol. The voices were coming from 2 stories above us. When they finished the song, we applauded.  We heard a voice say "multumim" and they started singing again, walking down the stairs towards our door. We were transfixed!  At that moment, the drab concrete walls of our apartment bloc could have been a cathedral. These young men in rich tenor, baritone and bass, favored us with more wonderful music.  We quickly pulled some money out of our wallet, thinking they might be collecting for some cause, but they said no. So we gave them each a candy cane and wished them a happy Christmas as they carried on down to the lower floors, singing as they went.

In the spirit of sharing that these young men demonstrated, we send our best wishes to you from a place that is teaching us that when you are serving others as He would do, you feel God's love and peace the most.

May God bless you with hearts full of His peace and love.
