After a crazy day of work I like to stop on my way home by the old church
to relax and reflect. They have beautiful stained glass windows and I usually
have the place all to myself.
Today however there was someone else there. A
single man, that I recognize as the maintenance guy, was at the front of the
church decorating a lopsided Christmas tree. Normally I think of decoration a
Christmas tree with family and friends filled with music and laughter. When I
realized that this man was all alone in his decorating venture, I set my bag
down and went to help. We didn't speak the same language but we managed just
fine with smiles and pointing. There was limited supplies to work with that
weren't broken, but tinsel will cover all sorts of issues. When we were
finished he went back to work cleaning up the church. I didn't expect to trim
the tree this year as the majority of Moroccans don't celebrate Christmas. I'm
sure glad I was wrong. This will be a tree I won't forget.
Merry Christmas Everyone!
