Wow! Talk about a strange feeling. I write about "da hood" and then "da hood" surprises me with a warmth that melted my heart.
25-30 Christmas Carolers, all carrying lit candles come out of the alley way, singing their hearts out door to door. It is the little surprises and kindness from all walks of life, even from "da hood" that make one realize that we are all the same, made of his likeness and his love. This is the season about Jesus, and he shines even in places where there are many struggles.
Thank you Jesus for the reminder of "love" and "goodness" - for it can and is everywhere if we look beyond the troubles and issues that sometimes can plaque our steets.
