Shame on us at Christmastime

We complain about traffic, long lines, and having to buy a few more presents.  We complain about wrapping.  We whine about baking.  We complain about being with the family members who sometimes just don't feel like family.  We run around like mad, all going insane, not even thinking of how this should be a peaceful, holy, time.  A time of unbelievably beautiful joy.

Watch this.  I am an active supporter of St. Jude's Research Hospital, and they believe in peace and hope, the sanctity of each moment, and all the things we so easily forget at this time of year.

These angels, of all people, have the right to be sad at Christmastime.  But no, to them, it's not even an option.  Look at their little faces - they are so happy, sharing so much joy!  They just believe. Believe in love. Believe in Christmas. Believe in miracles. Believe they have a lot to be thankful for. Believe that they can have joy even through they may be dying.

Shame on us.  What's it going to take for some of us to find that true joy, that strong belief?

God bless these precious little angels.  They, even in their conditions, have blessed us all.  To me, that's honorable.  It's beautiful.
