On Christmas
Day these events I observed:
A lone man shivering
and looking at his feet while waiting for a bus
Cold rain falling on an
overloaded pick-up truck as it moved belongings from one abode to another
The sound of an
ambulance coming from a near-by assisted living complex
Christmas tree lot
with many unsold trees, all unattended
A single car parked
at McDonalds
On the freeway, a car
with a flat tire and a woman with children inside waiting for the tow truck
On Christmas
Day these events I experienced:
My granddaughters in
their pajamas, opening gifts, squealing with delight
My grandson (six
months old) sitting in my lap, chewing on his favorite finger
Laughter from my
family
Safety
Warmth
Food
Holding my husband’s
hand
But for a
twist of chance or fortune, I/we could have been in the first list. In fact, we have been on that list at one time or another. What about you? What did you see on Christmas Day? Have you ever been in one of those spots?
