Christmas

I wasn't really feeling Christmas this year, not sure why.
Then a friend emailed me a picture of an old fashioned little girl, dressed in red.
... I got to help decorate a Christmas tree, one of the decorators had a stroke a few years back, her hands shakey - oh, but she loves to help.  He just made a new home with us and wants so much to be needed.  Leaving behind his home that was built to order by he and his wife.
He is tall he says he'll help with the top ones, or, wherever we need him to help.
As she is wheeled up to the tree he stands next to her and notices with his failing eyes that her hand can barely hold the bulb...
as he gently guides her hand to the branch...
together they hang the bulb.
I stand in the back ground my vision failing due to tears in my eyes...
but, I feel in my heart a miracle...
I feel Christmas!
