Merry Christmas

 One thing most of us have in common on this day is that we don’t go to work.  Since many restaurants are closed on this day, the cooks, servers, cleaners, are all off too.  I remember that one time, in my unemployable days, I did get a Christmas night job, cleaning the floors of a restaurant.  And the owner was in a bad mood.  I could not do much right for her.  But now, many years later, I can celebrate gratitude.  I have found serenity, peace and freedom from profound loneliness.  God indeed has come into my world in a miraculous way.  Merry Christmas.
