Christmas Carols Under the Stars — A Nice Surprise

A few minutes ago, I heard someone drive up into our driveway, so I went to investigate.
It turned out to be some of the youth from the Grape Creek Baptist Church, just up the road. They brought some chocolate-covered cherries to Mom and wanted to sing Christmas carols to her.
What they didn’t know was that she had just spread out to do her monthly budgeting and check writing and was pretty much blocked into her chair. I quickly helped her move the things so she could come to the back door and rushed back to tell them she’d be there in a couple of minutes.
Using her walker, she made it into the kitchen and we blocked the storm door open. I put a chair right behind her so she could sit and enjoy the music.
For the next few minutes, they sang the old familiar tunes she loves so much and it really brightened her day.
A few people singing in the back of a pickup truck — sometimes it’s the small things that really make someone happier. Thanks!
Happy Holidays to all of you,
JD
