Last night and again early this morning the air was crisp and cool. Ok, cold by this morning. I was driving low and slow...you know, just cruising.... The radio was on and while I was driving it found the music was actually annoying me. My phone kept up its part of noise making as well. So, I did what anybody would do...I turned it all off...all of it. I rolled down the window and continued driving slowly through the streets and county roads....just looking...all the brilliant little lights shining bright through the darkness of the night. The bright stars clearly shining through the clear night air from above. As I drifted by some of the homes I could clearly see the Christmas Trees inside through the front window. The warmth of the inside against the cold of the outside causing a fog effect upon the glass. Very still....very serene. In my mind and in my heart in these few moments to myself, I found I was not really all alone after all. I could literally feel the Peace of God All Mighty with me, around me. This does not happen very often in my life. Most of the time I have either been in a fire or under fire....tears, destruction, death, heartbreak and sadness have often times prevailed in my life time and career. Yet, every now and then, in moments like these, I am reminded through the silence, through the calm...that God is still here. He has not and will not leave us. In my mind I could hear the notes, the words of the timeless song, Silent Night. However, with a difference....the words were in German....I had heard this particular song many, many years ago....what seams like a life time ago....in person. I had not thought about it in a long time. However, here in this moment, God pushed that memory forward for me and I am sharing it with you all here this morning. You see, all over this Country and the World in fact there is much violence, hate, anger, despair, destruction, death and utter heartbreak. Yet, through all of these terrible things, I am and we should all be, reminded....struggle is in fact a part of life. We all have a part to play. We all have a role in making this world, this life a little better than we found it....one moment, one person at a time. I am reminded there is still Hope, Faith and Love abound in this world. WE have to decide to allow those things we cherish to prevail and not the evils of this life. All over this old world there are lights, trees, garland, Santas, snow men....you name it....if its Christmas related....its out there. While all this hustle and bustle is abound, please, take a moment....turn it all off.....youll be very surprised. You might just get a moment of Peace.....a moment of Heavenly Peace. A Silent Night. Just try and remember in that moment....its also a Holy Night. Just like this incredible song says....no matter what language it is presented in. God bless...... Your Friend, Me
